SCOTTISH SONGS
Scotland the Brave
Hark when the night is falling Hear! hear the pipes are calling,
Loudly and proudly calling, Down thro' the glen.
There where the hills are sleeping, Now feel the blood a-leaping,
High as the spirits of the old Highland men.
Towering in gallant fame, Scotland my mountain hame,
High may your proud standards gloriously wave,
Land of my high endeavour,
Land of the shining river, Land of my heart for ever,
Scotland the brave.
High in the misty Highlands,
Out by the purple islands,
Brave are the hearts that beat
Beneath Scottish skies.
Wild are the winds to meet you,
Staunch are the friends that greet you,
Kind as the love that shines from fair maiden's eyes.
Towering in gallant fame, Scotland my mountain hame,
High may your proud standards gloriously wave,
Land of my high endeavour,
Land of the shining river, Land of my heart for ever,
Scotland the brave.
Far off in sunlit places, Sad are the Scottish faces,
Yearning to feel the Kiss Of sweet Scottish rain.
Where tropic skies are beaming, Love sets the heart a-dreaming,
Longing and dreaming for the homeland again.
Towering in gallant fame, Scotland my mountain hame,
High may your proud standards gloriously wave,
Land of my high endeavour,
Land of the shining river, Land of my heart for ever,
Scotland the brave.
Auld Lang Syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot And auld lang syne?
Chorus: For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne, We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet For auld lang syne.
And surely, ye'll be your pint stowp! And surely I'll be mine! And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet, For auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne, We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet For auld lang syne.
We twa hae mn about the braes And pou'd the gowans fine; But we've wander'd mony a weary foot Sin' auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne, We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet For auld lang syne.
We two hae paidled i' the burn, Frae morning sun till dine; But seas between us braid hae roar'd Sin' auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne, We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet For auld lang syne.
And here's a hand, my trusty fiere, And gie's a hand o' thine; And we'll tak' a right gude-willy waught, For auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne, We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet For auld lang syne.
Amazing Grace
Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now I'm found was blind but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear and grace my fear relieved.
How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares We have already come.
'Twas grace that brought us safe thus far and grace will lead us home.
When we've been there ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise than when we first begun.
Bonnie Banks 0' Loch Lomon'
By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes, Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomon'. Where me and my true love were ever wont to gae On the bonnie, bonnie banks 0' Loch Lomon'.
Chorus: O ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak' the low road, An' I'll be in Scotland afore ye;
But me and my true love will never meet again On the bonnie, bonnie banks 0' Loch Lomon'.
'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen, On the steep, steep side 0' Ben Lomon', Where in purple hue the Hieland hills we view, An' the moon comin' out in the gloamin'
O ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak' the low road, An' I'll be in Scotland afore ye;
But me and my true love will never meet again On the bonnie, bonnie banks 0' Loch Lomon'.
The wee birdies sing and the wild flow'rs spring, And in sunshine the waters are sleepin'; But the broken heart it kens nae second spring, Tho' the waefu' may cease frae their greetin'.
O ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak' the low road, An' I'll be in Scotland afore ye;
But me and my true love will never meet again On the bonnie, bonnie banks 0' Loch Lomon'.
