Texty písní » Asonance - Such A Parcel Of Rogues
Fareweel tae all oor Scottish fame,
fareweel oor ancient glory;
Fareweel even tae our Scottish name,
sae famed in martial story.
Noo Sark rins over the Solway sands,
and Tweed rins tae the ocean,
tae mark where England's province stands;
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation.
What force or guile could not subdue
through mony warlike ages,
Is wrought now by a coward few
for hireling traitors' wages.
The English steel we could disdain,
secure in valour's station;
But English gold has been our bane;
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!
Oh would, or I had seen the day
that treason thus could sell us.
My auld gray heid had laen in clay
wi' Bruce and loyal Wallace!
But pitch 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!
