Each Scot at Home, and Free.
Just, a wee trip Laddie
When the skies are right
And the heathers’ colours
Bring true delight.
One can hear the
Pipes skirling.
The winds, the winds
And history hurling.
It’s in the Blood.
It’s in the Song.
It makes the kilted ones
Come along.
The Wallace, the Bruce
The Burns, the Scott
Stand out in that Song.
A lot.
