| When Scotland was in darkness and at English Edward’s heel
|
| There rose a lad to lead us and to make the tyrant reel
|
| He raised up his arm for freedom showing nerve and Scottish steel
|
| William Wallace, the knight of Elderslie
|
| Sing now of Wallace, the knight of Elderslie
|
| Guardian of Scotland, of truth and liberty
|
| With the loyal Andrew Moray how he danced the English down
|
| At Berwick and at Stirling, he provoked a royal frown
|
| And mercenary traitors from Carlisle to London town
|
| Knew of Wallace, the knight of Elderslie
|
| Sing now of Wallace, the knight of Elderslie
|
| Guardian of Scotland, of truth and liberty
|
| But the skies grew black at Falkirk as the English arrows sped
|
| And many a mother’s son did lie among the bloody dead
|
| And when tithe took Judas' money that was placed upon the head
|
| Of Wallace, the knight of Elderslie
|
| Sing now of Wallace, the knight of Elderslie
|
| Guardian of Scotland, of truth and liberty
|
| Then the noblest heart of Scotland was revealed for all to see
|
| When they hacked him into pieces underneath the gallows tree
|
| But the butchery and slaughter cannot scar the memory
|
| Of Wallace, the knight of Elderslie
|
| Once again, the land’s in darkness as we hang our heads to mourn
|
| And remember how the Braveheart caused oppression’s tide to turn
|
| But Scotsmen, aye, stand ready and prepared for Bannockburn
|
| Thanks to Wallace, the knight of Elderslie
|
| Sing now of Wallace, the knight of Elderslie
|
| Guardian of Scotland, of truth and liberty
|
| William Wallace, the knight of Elderslie
|
| Guardian of Scotland, of truth and liberty |
