I have a thing for Scottish music, especially patriotic songs. Actually, I love all things Scottish. I can't quite explain why. Must be my heritage (Cameron and Buchanan bloodlines) and the fact that my better half is the genuine article (the "wifie" is of MacDonald stock, Arbroath-born and rasied). A pal of mine in Brechin (Angus) once said I'm a Scot in the skin o' a Yank. I even wear a t-shirt with "MacWanabe" on the front of it. Enough of my blethering.

There's a song called "Scotland Yet" that I need the complete lyrics for. All I've managed to find so far is the last of its 3 verses: The thistle wags abune the fields Where Wallace bore his blade, That gied her foe-men's dearest build Tae dye her auld grey plaide And, looking tae the lift, my lads, He sang in doughty glee - "Auld Scotland's right, and Scotland's might, And Scotland's hills for me!" I'll drink a cup tae Scotland yet, Wi' a' the honours three!

It's actually a poem by James Thomson, set to music by James Booth. The melody reminds of of another popular song they colaborated on, "The Star O' Robbie Burns". Booth's style is readily recognizable.

I want to get a hold of the lyrics so I can add the song to my repertoir (I sing with a bunch of friends at the local piano bars and Irish pubs here in northern VA just for fun, and my forte is Scots/Irish, naturally).

Sorry to bore you all with TMI.

Thanks a bunch.
