Th' sound o' th' bagpipes
howfur it stirs th' soul
tae battle oan
ah wis tellt
by mah faither
that whin th' Germans
sawed a lone ****
comin' up th' beach
blawin his pipes
thay didnae fire
thinking mibbie
he wis a bawherr
touched in th' heid
'n' let him be
as ither soldiers
aroond him lay wee
or lay deid
moved back 'n' forth
by th' sea
ah mind hearing
a lone piper speil
in Auld Reekie
by Waverly Station
dressed in kilt
'n' stowed oot regalia
closed een
'n' ah thought
o' th' lone ****
comin' up that beach
blawin awa'
'n' aye
blows th'day.
