Such a Parcel O’ Rogues in a Nation Lyrics by Dick Gaughan

Gaughan

1991

Fareweil tae aa our Scottish fame
Fareweil our ancient glory
Fareweil e'en tae the Scottish name
Sae famed in martial story
Nou Sark rins ower the Solway sands
An Tweed rins tae the ocean
Tae mark whaur England's province stauns
Sic a parcel o rogues in a nation!
What force or guile could not subdue
Thro many warlike ages
Is wrocht nou by a coward few
For hireling traitor's wages
The English steel we could disdain
Secure in valour's station
But English gold has been our bane
Sic a parcel o rogues in a nation!
O wad, ere I had seen thе day
That Treason thus could sell us
My auld gray heid had lain in clay
Wi Brucе an loyal Wallace
But pith an pouer, till my last hour
I'll mak this declaration -
We're bocht an sold for English gold
Sic a parcel o rogues in a nation!
