DOES haughty Gaul invasion threat?
Then let the louns beware, Sir;
Theres wooden walls upon our seas,
And volunteers on shore, Sir:
The Nith shall run to Corsincon,
And Criffel sink in Solway,
Ere we permit a Foreign Foe
On British ground to rally!
Well neer permit a Foreign Foe
On British ground to rally!
O let us not, like snarling curs,
In wrangling be divided,
Till, slap! come in an unco loun,
And wi a rung decide it!
Be Britain still to Britain true,
Amang ourselves united;
For never but by British hands
Maun British wrangs be righted!
No! never but by British hands
Shall British wrangs be righted!
The Kettle o the Kirk and State,
Perhaps a clout may fail int;
But deil a foreign tinkler loun
Shall ever caa nail int.
Our fathers blude the Kettle bought,
And wha wad dare to spoil it;
By Heavns! the sacrilegious dog
Shall fuel be to boil it!
By Heavns! the sacrilegious dog
Shall fuel be to boil it!
The wretch that would a tyrant own,
And the wretch, his true-born brother,
Who would set the Mob aboon the Throne,
May they be damnd together!
Who will not sing God save the King,
Shall hang as highs the steeple;
But while we sing God save the King,
Well neer forget THE PEOPLE!
But while we sing God save the King,
Well neer forget THE PEOPLE!
