Scots' Music
Ye'll No Sit Here
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Were the outdated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 but I will sit here! - No but you'll no sit here!
Oh but I will! - No but you'll no!
Oh but I will sit here!

It was doon at Ardnadam, sitting on the pier
When I heard the polis shout, You'll no sit here

There was Chief Inspector Runcie enhancing his career
Prancing up and doon the road like Yogi Bear

He sent for help tae Glesga, they nearly chowed his ear
We've got the 'Gers and Celtic demonstrators here

He telephoned the sodgers, he didnae mak' it clear
The sodgers sent doon Andy Stewart tae volunteer

He telephoned the White House, but a' that he could hear
Was, Twa, one, zero - and the line went queer
'Cos' Jack had dropped the H-bomb and he gie'd hissel'
a shroud
And he met wi' Billy Graham on a wee white cloud

Last chorus:
Oh but I will sit here! - No but you'll no sit here!
Oh but I will! - No but you'll no!
Oh but I have sat here!
