On the Trail of David Ross

In southern Glasgow he was born

With the name of David Ross

Inspired by those who'd fought before

He took a pen as strong as a sword

First was Wallace then came Bruce

Bonnie Prince and many more

Mounted on his two-wheeled horse

Riding every single road

Down to London he did march

To pay tribute to the great hero

An epic journey to Smithfield

And he made it!

On the rail of David Ross we are

And we'll keep his legacy alive

On the trail of David Ross we stand

As he did for Scottish freedom

Fighting bravely for his roots

Over hills and glens he walked

Crossing rivers, sailing lochs

And enjoying a fine Scotch

He wrote of Wallace, Rob the Bruce

And Charlie Stuart - Scottish Lore

Mounted on his two-wheeled horse

Proud warrior in hiking-boots

And today is time to give

Respect to him for what he did

While all men die not many live!

On the trail of David Ross we are

And we'll keep his legacy alive

On the trail of David Ross we stand

As he did for Scottish freedom
