BONNIE GALLOWA' George G. B. Sproat
Wha but lo'es the bonnie hills, Wha but lo'es the shinin' rills; Aye for thee my bosom fills— Bonnie Gallowa'.
Land o' darkly-rollin' Dee, Land o' silvery windin' Cree, Kiss'd by Solway's foamy sea— Bonnie Gallowa'.
Wreathes o' glory roun' thee weave, Gory land o' fearless Thrieve, Heroes' deeds your sons achieve— Bonnie Gallowa'.
Ance ye had a king your ain, Wha your laurels ne'er wad stain, Focht your foes wi' micht an' main— Bonnie Gallowa'.
Wha 'mang Scotia's chiefs can shine? Heroes o' the Douglas line, Maxwells, Gordons, a' are thine— Bonnie Gallowa'.
Land o' birk and rowan tree, Land o' fell and forest free, Land that's aye sae dear to me— Bonnie Gallowa'.
