Brogues an' brochen an' a',
Brochen an' brogues an' a' ;
An' up wi' the bonny blue bannet,
The kilt, an' the feather, an' a'.
I
Laigh-Country Sandy*
TUNE— Woo'd an' Married an' a.
My name it is Laigh-country Sandy,
Ne'er fear'd for the face of a fae ;
By king an' by country I'll stand ay,
Whenever they're threaten'd wi' wae \
When arrn'd an' plac'd in my station,
To march, an' to front, an' to wheel,
I'll fight for auld Scotland's salvation
Against bdith the Dutch an' the de'il.
King an' people, an' a',
Lords an' commons, an' a',
Shall keep up their auld independence,
Or Sandy shall fight till he fa'.
May I get my shouthers we el clankit,
Gif e'er I tell aught but the truth,
Your clans they can front it an* tlank it,
As weei as we lads o' the South.
