NOO'S THE DAY
(A missive to Westminster)
Lyrics: Billy Henderson © Idlefrets Music 01.12.10
Tune: Mo Ghile Mear
A nation aye, a country, naw,
A sovereign state is naw for aw,
The Union's back's against the wa',
So noo's the day, come follow.
Time tae brek Westminster's chains,
Time tae re-enforce yir veins,
England loses, Scotland gains,
A legacy tae leave yir weans;
Three hunner years we've had tae dree,
Awa' divine authority,
What price noo, oor liberty,
Ach rule yirsel' an' let us be.
We'll hae a parcel o' rogues no more,
The Summer of sixty nine encore,
Embrace the cheinges at your door
'Cause what was a buzz, is noo a roar.
Ye never liked us, noo's yir chance,
Here's a warnin' in advance,
A 'New Alliance', we'll mak wi' France,
'Cause we're up tae here wi' yir dominance.
