Both Sides The Tweed |
What’s the spring breathing jasmine and rose |
What’s the summer with all its gay train |
What’s the splendour of autumn to those |
Who’ve bartered their freedom for gain |
Let the love of our land’s sacred rights |
To the love of our people succeed |
Let friendship and honour unite |
And flourish on both sides the Tweed |
No sweetness the senses can cheer |
Which corruption and bribery bind |
No brightness the sun can e’er clear |
For honour’s the sum of the mind |
Let virtue distinguish the brave |
Place riches in lowest degree |
Think them poorest who can be a slave |
Them richest who dare to be free |
Let the love of our land’s sacred rights |
To the love of our people succeed |
Let friendship and honour unite |
And flourish on both sides the Tweed |
