Parcel O' Rogues |
| Fareweel to a' our Scottish fame |
| Fareweel our ancient glory! |
| Fareweel ev’n to the Scottish name |
| Sae famed in martial story! |
| Now Sark rins over Salway sands |
| An' Tweed rins to the ocean |
| To mark where England’s province stands -- |
| Such a parcel of rogues in a nation! |
| O, would, or I had seen the day |
| That Treason thus could sell us |
| My auld grey head had lien in clay |
| Wi' Bruce and loyal Wallace! |
| But pith and power, till my last hour |
| I’ll mak this declaration : — |
| 'We're bought and sold for English gold'-- |
| Such a parcel of rogues in a nation! |
