Old Blind Dogs - Parcel O Rogues Lyrics

Fareweel tae a' wir' Scottish fame
Fareweel oor ancient glory
Fareweel e'en tae wir' Scottish name
That's praised in martial story
Noo the Sark, it runs tae the Solway sands
Tweed, it runs tae the ocean
Tae mark where England's province stands
Sic' a parcel o' rogues in a nation

What force nor guile could not subdue
Through many warlike ages
Is wrought now by a coward few
For hireling traitor's wages
Oh the English steel we could disdain
Safe in valor's station
But English gold has been oor bain
Sic' a parcel o' rogues in a nation

Oh would or could I hae seen the day
That treason thus befell us
My aul' gray heid hae lien in clay
Wi' Bruce and loyal Wallace
Wi' pith and power 'til my last hour
I'll mak' this declaration
We were bought and sold for English gold
Sic' a parcel o' rogues in a nation

Fareweel tae a' wir' Scottish fame
Fareweel oor ancient glory
Fareweel e'en tae wir' Scottish name
That's praised in martial story
Noo the Sark, it runs tae the Solway sands
Tweed, it runs tae the ocean
Tae mark where England's province stands
Sic' a parcel o' rogues in a nation

Sic' a parcel o' rogues in a nation
Sic' a parcel o' rogues in a nation
