Flower of Scotland

(The Scottish national anthem) 

O' Flower of Scotland 
When will we see your like again, 
That fought and died for 
Your wee bit Hill and Glen. 
And stood against him Proud Edward's Army, 
And sent him homeward Tae think again. 
The Hills are bare now 
And Autumn leaves lie thick and still, 
O'er land that is lost now 
Which those so dearly held. 
That stood against him 
Proud Edward's Army, 
And sent him homeward T 
ae think again. 
Those days are past now 
And in the past they must remain, 
But we can still rise now 
And be the nation again. 
That stood against him Proud Edward's Army, 
And sent him homeward 
Tae think again. 
O' Flower of Scotland 
When will we see your like again, 
That fought and died for 
Your wee bit Hill and Glen. 
And stood against him 
Proud Edward's Army, 
And sent him homeward 
Tae think again.
