[Verse 1] Scots, wha hae wih Wallace bled Scots, wham Bruce has aften led Welcome to your gory bed Or to victory Now’s the day, and now’s the hour See the front o’ battle lour See approach proud Edward’s power Chains and slavery [Verse 1] Wha will be a traitor knave Wha can fill a coward’s grave Wha sae base as be a slave Let him turn and flee Wha for Scotland’s king and law Freedom’s sword will strongly draw Freeman stand, or freeman fall Let him follow me [Chorus 1] By oppression’s woes and pains By your sons in servile chains We will drain our dearest veins But they shall be free [Bridge] Lay the proud usurpers low Tyrants fall in every foe Liberty’s in every blow Let us do or die [instrumental, progressive] Aaaaahaaaaahaaaaa [instrumental, progressive] Aaaaahaaaaahaaaaa [Drop] [Chorus 2] By oppression’s (woes and pains) By your sons (in servile chains) We will drain (our dearest veins) [Drop] But they shall be free
