O Maut
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Were the outdated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.

Chorus:
We are nae fu', we're nae that fu'
But just a drappie in oor e'e
The cock may craw, the day may daw
But aye we'll taste the barley bree

Willie brewed a peck o' maut
And Rab and Alan came to pree
Three blyther lads that lee-lang nicht
Ye wadna found in Christendie

We are three men, three merry men
Three merry men I trow are we
And mony's the nicht we've merry been
And mony may we hope to be

It is the moon, I ken his horn
That's blinking in the lift sae hie
She shines sae bright to wile us hame
But by my sooth, she'll wait a wee

Wha first shall rise tae gang awa'
A cuckold coward loon is he
Wha first beside his chair shall fa'
He is the king amang us three
