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! |
