Scots wha' ha'e wi' Wallace bled (who have with) Scots wham Bruce has 'oftimes led (whom Bruce has often) Welcome tae yer gory bed Or to victory Now's the day and now's the hour See the front o' battle lour See approach proud Edward's power Chains and slavery Wha will be a traitor knave? (who) Wha can fill a coward's grave? Wha sae base as be a slave? (who's so) Let him turn and flee Wha for Scotland's King and Law Freedom's sword will strongly draw Freeman stand or Freeman fa' (fall) Let him follow me By oppression's woes and pains By our sons in servile chains We will drain our dearest veins But they shall be free. Lay the proud usurper low Tyrants fall in every foe Liberty's in every blow Let us do or die A patriotic song of Scotland which served for a long time as an unofficial national anthem of the country, written by Robert Burns in 1793, in the form of a speech given before battle.
