Fareweel tae a' wir' Scottish fame Fareweel oor ancient glory Fareweel e'en tae wir' Scottish name That's praised in martial story Noo the Sark, it runs tae the Solway sands Tweed, it runs tae the ocean Tae mark where England's province stands Sic' a parcel o' rogues in a nation
What force nor guile could not subdue Through many warlike ages Is wrought now by a coward few For hireling traitor's wages Oh the English steel we could disdain Safe in valor's station But English gold has been oor bain Sic' a parcel o' rogues in a nation
Oh would or could I hae seen the day That treason thus befell us My aul' gray heid hae lien in clay Wi' Bruce and loyal Wallace Wi' pith and power 'til my last hour I'll mak' this declaration We were bought and sold for English gold Sic' a parcel o' rogues in a nation
