Welcome to your gory bed

See approach proud Edward's power-
Chains and slaverie !
Wha will be a traitor knave?
Wha can fill a coward's grave?
Wha sae base as be a slave ? —
Let him turn, and flee !
Wha for Scotland's king and law
Freedom's sword will strongly draw,
Freeman stand or freeman fa',
Let him follow me!
By Oppression's woes and pains,
By your sons in servile chains,
We will drain our dearest veins
But they shall be free !
Lay the proud usurpers low!
Tyrants fall in every foe !
Liberty 's in every blow ! —
Let us do, or die !
