Scots wha hae wi? Wallace bled

Scots, wha haw wi? Wallace bled;
Scots, wham Bruce has aften led;
Welcome to your gory bed,
Or go glorious victorie!

Now?s the day, an? now?s the hour;
See the front of battle lour;
See approach proud Edward?s power ?
Edward ! chains and slaverie !

Wha will be a traitor knave?
Wha can fill a coward?s grave?
Wha sae base as be a slave?
Traitor ! coward ! turn and flee!

Wha for Scotland?s king and law
Freedon?s sword will strongly draw,
Freeman stand, or freeman fa?,
Caledonia, on wi? me!

By opression?s woes and pains,
By your sons in servile chains,
We will drain our dearest veins,
But they shall be ? shall be free.

Lay the proud usurpers low,
Tyrants fall in every foe;
Liberty?s in every blow,
Forward ! let us do, or die!
