This is the text to Scotland Yet by Andy Stewart, the melody is traditional. Andy, The Alexanderbrothers and Alexnder Morriston has sung it. I prefer Andy's version, adn i actually think this is probably the best Scottish song there is. I'll raise my heart and voice once more, And sing another song. And litit sound, And i resound, So brave and free and strong. And ever as I sing, my lads, the fought of it shall be, Old Scotland's house, And Scotlands knows, And Scotlands hills for me! I'll drink a cup to Scotland yet, We a' aw the hounors three. The other lands are fair and fine, Old Scotland is my choice, No land on earth, Like that of there, Can thrill my heart and voice! A for well i loue this land my lands, That's gathered by tha sea, Old scotlands dales, And scotlands meils (??) (Maybe WHALES? Don't know really.) And scotlands hills for me! I'll drink a cup to Scotland yet, We a' aw the hounors three. The Thistle is tha badge we wear, Oor flag are blue and white, The song to freedom, do we bare, Are causes for the right. Then here's the badge and here's the flag, That ever mine shall be. Then scotland's right, And scotlnad's might, And scotlands hills for me! I'll drink a cup to Scotland yet, We a' aw the hounors three. Old scotland's right, And scotlnad's might, And scotlands hills for me! I'll drink a cup to Scotland yet, We a' aw the hounors three.
