| Scots' Music |
| Where Is Your Highland Laddie |
| 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 Were the outdated union not of some very high value to England and the English, why would they fight so to try to keep it?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. |
Oh where, tell me where, is your Highland laddie gone? Oh where, tell me where, is your Highland laddie gone? He's gone wi' streaming banners where noble deeds are done, And it's oh, in my heart I wish him safe at home. Oh where, tell me where, did your Highland laddie dwell? Oh where, tell me where, did your Highland laddie dwell? He dwelt in Bonnie Scotland, where blooms the sweet blue bell, And it's oh, in my heart I lo'ed my laddie well. Oh what, tell me what, does your Highland laddie wear? Oh what, tell me what, does your Highland laddie wear? A bonnet with a lofty plume, and on his breast a plaid, And it's oh, in my heart I lo'ed my Highland lad. Oh what, tell me what, if your Highland laddie is slain? Oh what, tell me what, if your Highland laddie is slain? Oh no, true love will be his guard and bring him safe again, For it's oh, my heart would break if my Highland lad were slain. |
