I think RA may just have helped me crack it, cheers!


Seven long years since Falkirk Field
Seven sore years of Edward's power
Come unto me, the great king said
And swear to live in peace

For bloody strife has tired my soul
And filled my heart with tears
So Scotland's lords gave him their word
And placed their hands in his

They swore to serve him as their king
Afore any other man
But one apart, a rogue 'tis said
In pride and sinful scorn

He swore to live or die alone
For Scotland's freedom lost
Thus did brave Wallace cry, 'tis said
Thus did the poor fool say

Tell me good man, who is the fool
When wise men practise roguery
Say you, he's gone and Scotland's dead
Ah, but did you see him die?


It's an *enormously* frustrating series but there are occasional delights to be found therein - the final episode (Death or Liberty) features Ian Campbell singing The Hand-Loom Weavers' Lament and episode #19 (The Derry Boys) was scripted by one Dominic Behan. They can all be found tucked away on YouTube, if anyone's feeling morbidly curious.
