[E]
Farewell to all our Scottish fame, [B] Farewell our ancient law,
[Ab] [B]
Farewell even to our Scottish name, So famed in martial [Ab] story.
[E] Now Sark runs [Abm] over the [Dbm] Solway [C]
[Abm] sands, And we runs [Ebm] to [Bb] the [Ab] ocean,
[B] Dear Mark, where England's province [E]
stands, Such a fossil of [Gb] [E] Rome's in a
[Ebm] [Ab] nation,
[E]
What forsook Isle could not [B] subdue, Through many wars,
[Ab]
Is [B] robbed now by a coward few, For hireling traitors
[Ab] wages.
[Bb]
The [B] [Ebm] English deal [B] we could [Gb]
disdain, [Abm]
Secure in [D] [Dbm] balance
[Ab] they shall,
[N] But English gold has [E] been our bane, Such a fossil of Rome's in a nation,
[Ab]
[E]
A world o'er [B] I have seen the day, That [Bb] treason [Abm] thus could stand,
[B] My old grey head had
[Abm] with Bruce and [Gb] [B] Lloyd all [Abm]
[Ab] worn,
[Db] But [Dbm] with an heart till my last hour, [Abm]
I'll make [B] this [Dbm] declaration,
[Abm]
[N] We were bought and sold for [E]
English gold, Such a fossil [Gb] of [Abm]
Rome's in [Db] a [Ab] nation.
