Scots' Round the World

In the 18th century way up in the Highlands

The British lion roared at Scotland with a henious plan

The English pushed up from the South with murderous dragoons

And what they did to Scotland will not be forgotten soon

The fighting feild culloden, Prince Charlie was the man

Of illusionary grandure with no head for command

Cumberland with cannon fired on Scots with sword in hand

Brave men fought & died in kilts defending ancient clans

They were Scottish, and now they're gone

They were Scottish, but they live on

The Higlanders were cut to shreds, hung & lost their heads

To put some to rot in prisons and left 'em all for dead

No mercy for the Highland people screaming through the years

Some were chained & shipped as slaves far off to new frontiers

People come & people go but Scots will never die

They live on in sons & daughters

Scottish heart. Scottish pride

Now there's Scottish all around the world

And what better world their be

Remember the ones who made our Scottish history
