F5                    C5
Fareweel to all our  Scottish fame
F5             G5      F5   C5
Fareweel our ancient glory
F5                         C5
Fareweel even to our  Scottish name
F5             G5     F5   C5
So famed in martial story
C5              F5       C5      G5
Now Sark rins over the Solway sands
    F5      G5          C5  F5
And Tweed rins to the Ocean.
    C5    G5    F5        C5         F5
To mark where Englands province stands
      C5         G5           F5    C5
Sic a parcel of rogues in a nation


What force or guile could not subdue
Thro' many warlike ages
Is wrought now by cowards few
For hireling traitor's wages
The English steel we could disdain
Secure in valor's station
But we`re bought and we`re sold for English gold
Sic a parcel of rogues in a nation

O would 'ere I had seen the day
That treason thus could sell us
My auld grey head had lain in clay
With Bruce and loyal Wallace
But pith and power to my last hour
I'll make this declaration
That we're bought and sold for English gold
Sic a parcel of rogues in a nation.
