A wee tune for me fellow Scotts youtube/watch?v=CxivAzbLIvU and the lyrics NAE UNION by Roddie Maclean William Wallace was a patriot That very special name We give to those who stand and fight their freedom to retain. They took him down to London Town His treason tae explain And for fighting for his country as a traitor he was slain. (chorus) Nae Union, nae surrender in the cause of liberty For if yer no for Scotland then against her you must be. When English Edward crossed the border Scotland burned again And Bruce he raised the standard for the loyal fightin men Six times he tried six times he failed To stem the Saxon tide Til Edwards son fled Bannockburn defeated and denied. chorus Now England neer forgot that day It spoiled all her dreams With Scotland free shed have to try again by other means When Jamie went tae London Toon He couldnae see at a That England was the larger and the large would rule the sma chorus The Articles of Union held the people in a rage Men turned their coats and sold their votes And made their country slaves. Then Fletcher said yell dance ye fools til all eternity Their trap yeve sprung, yersels yeve hung Yeve no majority chorus They burned the Treaty at Dumfries Upon the cobbled stanes Accept what they rejected and youll wear submissions chains Since then the Straven Martyrs and the loyal John Maclean All fought and died for Scotland free and we must do the same chorus Doon through the ages rings the Declaration of Arbroath To our undyin shame weve lost our pride and freedom both Is there still left one hundred men in Scotland we can trust To raise up freedoms sword that lies neglected in the dust chorus
