1
Farewell to all our Scottish fame
2
Farewell our ancient glory
3
Farewell even to our Scottish name
4
Sae fam'd in martial story
5
Now Sark runs over the Solway sands
6
And Tweed runs to the ocean
7
To mark where England's province stands:
8
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!
9
What force or gile could not subdue
10
Through many warlike ages
11
Is wrought now by a coward few
12
For hireling traitor's wages
13
The English steel we could disdain
14
Secure in valour's station
15
But English gold has been our bane:
16
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!
17
I would, or I had seen the day
18
That treason thus could sell us
19
My auld gray head had lain in clay
20
Wi' Bruce and loyal Wallace!
21
But pith and power, till my last hour
22
I'll make this declaration
23
We were bought and sold for English gold:
24
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!
