Songtext von Parcel O' Rogues

Fareweel to a' oor Scottish fame Fareweel oor ancient glory Fareweel even tae oor Scottish name Sae famed in martial story Noo Sark runs o'er the Solway sands Tweed runs tae the ocean Tae mark wher e England's province stands Such a parcel o' rogues in a nation What force or guile could not subdue Through many wor-like ages Is rocked now by the coward few For hireling traitor's wages The English steel we could disdain Secure in valou r's station But English gold has been oor bane Such a parcel o' rogues in a nation O would or I had seen the day That treason thus would sell us My old grey heid had lain in clay Wi' Bruce and loyal Wallace But pith and power till my last hour I'll mak' this declaration We are bought and sold for English gold Such a parcel o' rogues in a nation
