Broadside ballad entitled 'Scotland Yet' |
TranscriptionSCOTLAND YET. Gae bring my guid auld harp ance mair, For I mauu sing anither sang E'er a' my glee be past; The burden o't shall be? Auld Scotland's howes, and Scotland's knowes And Scotland's hills for me; I'll drink a cup to Scotland yet, Wi' a' the honours three ! The heath waves wild upon her bills, And foaming through her fells, As they dash down the dells! That's girded by the sea, And Scotland's hills for me, Wi' a' the honours three ! The thistle wags upon the fields Where Wallace bore his blade, To dye her auld grey plaid; He sang this doughty glee? Auld Scotland's rights, and Scotland's mights, And Scotland's hills for me, Wi' a' the honours three, They tell o' lands wi' brichter skies, Where freedom's voice ne'er rang, That kenna to be free? And Scotland's bills for me, Wi' a' the honours three. Sold by JAMES LINDSAY, Printer and Wholesale Stationer, 11 King Street, (City), Glasgow.
