Both Side 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 |
