A E
There was a man sae dark and true
D E A
Wha Scotland loo`ed sae dear
A E
There was a King wha lang will rue
D E A
the Scots wha flayed him sair
E D A
Gan cry the hounds o`Douglas vale
E A
Gan string the Ettrik bow
A E
Gan warn the spears o´Liddiesdale
D E A
that Edward leads the foe
[Verse 2]
A E
He wore the cross oor Andrew wore
D E A
by the steps o´Calvary
A E
he won the sword oor Robert wore
D E A
by the field o´Balvennie
E D A
Gan shear the chains o´slavery
E A
Gan dance my liege man lee
A E
Gan ring the bell o´liberty
D E A
shod wi the metal free
[Verse 3]
A E
He won his spurs doon by St.Bride
D E A
upon the green she free
A E
He held the Leopard and the tide
D E A
by the field o´Lintounie
E D A
Gan shine the shield yer father bore
E A
Gan strike yer metal free
A E
Gan shine the helm yer father wore
D E A
by the field of Torwoodlee
[Verse 4]
A E
he rode yin nicht when it was mirk
D E A
doon by the leopards lair
A E
he chased the tyrant in his shirt
D E A
around the field sae fair
E D A
Gan pack yer bags ye English loons
E A
Gan tak yer banners hame
A E
Gan tak yer king wha sought oor croon
D E A
and lost the bloody game
