John Mcdermott - Scotland For Ever Lyrics
Scotland for ever (scotland the brave) : to cliff hanleyLet italy boast of her gay gilded watersHer vines and her bowers and her soft sunny skiesHer sons drinking love from the eyes of her daughtersWhere freedom expires amid softness and sighsScotland's blue mountains wild where hoary cliffs are piledTowering in grandeur are dearer tae meLand of the misty cloud land of the tempest loudLand of the brave and proud land of the freeEnthroned on the peak of her own highland mountainsTe spirit of scotia reigns fearless and freeHer green tartan waving o'er blue rock and fountainAnd proudly she sings looking over the seaHere among my mountains wild i have serenely smiledWhen armies and empires against me were hurledFirm as my native rock i have withstood the shockOf england, of denmark, or rome and the worldBut see how proudly her war steeds are prancingDeep groves of steel trodden down in their pathThe eyes of my sons like their bright swords are glancingTriumphantly riding through ruin and deathBold hearts and nodding plumes wave o'er their bloody tombsDeepeyed in gore is the green tartan's waveShivering are the ranks of steel dire is the horseman's wheelVictorious in battlefield scotland the braveBold hearts and nodding plumes wave o'er their bloody tombsDeepeyed in gore is the green tartan's waveShivering are the ranks of steel dire is the horseman's wheelVictorious in battlefield scotland the braveVictorious in battlefield scotland the brave
