The Piper O'
Dundee
A simple brief
thought on Scottish
Independance.

Were the outdated
union not of some very
high value to England and
the English, why would
they fight so to try to
keep it?

There are only so many
slices to a pie, for one to
have more, another must
have less.

Lastly - to those Scottish
"Loyalists" - to whom are
you loyal?
Scots royalty died in the
1700's so it can be no
Scots crown - And
certainly not it appears to
those who came before,
that bled for Scotland
and her freedom !  
In the words
of Burns, as he
wrote from the heart.

Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled,
Scots, wham Bruce has aften led,
Welcome to your gory bed,
Or to victorie.

Now's the day, and now's the hour;
See the front o' battle lour;
See approach proud Edward's power,
Chains and slaverie.

Wha would be a traitor-knave?
Wha can fill a coward's grave?
Wha sae base as be a Slave?
Let him turn and flie:

Wha for Scotland's king and law,
Freedom's sword will strongly draw,
Free-man stand, or free-man fa',
Let him follow me.

By Oppression's woes and pains!
By your Sons in servile chains!
We will drain our dearest veins,
But they shall be free!

Lay the proud Usurpers low!
Tyrants fall in every foe!
Liberty's in every blow!
Let us Do - or Die!!!

Choose your destiny.

The piper came to out toun, to our toun, to our
toun
The piper came to our toun, and he played
bonnie-lie
He play'd a spring the laird to please,
A spring brent new frae yont the seas
And then he gae his bags a squeeze
And play' d anither key

And was-na he a rogie, a rogie a rogie
And was-na he a rogie the piper o' Dundee

He play’d the welcome o er the main
And 'ye see be fou’, ‘and I'se be fain'
And Auld Stewart's back again
Wi' muck-le mirth and glee
He play'd "The kirk he play'd ‘'The Queen’'
The ’Mull - in Dhu’, and ‘Chevalier’,
And 'Lang a wa’, but welcome here,
Sae sweet sae bonnie lie

Chorus

It's some gat swords and some gat nane
And some were dancing mad their lane
And mony a vow o'weir was ta’en
That night at Amulrie
There was Tullibardine and Burleigh
And Struan, Keith md Ogilvie
And brave Carnegie, wha but he
The piper o' Dundee
