For many years we have stood side by side
Unthinkable to contemplate your loss
If you should leave, bereft we would abide
And both of us must count the heavy cost
We have not always been the best of friends
I know you feel our union was forced
But all those ****** battles had to end
Since then do our achievements count for nought?
The whole is better than the sum of parts
Oh Caledonia, it's up to you
Is our historic partnership to last
Or do we have to bid a friend adieu
By voting, not by battle you decide
Remain, or by the claymore sever ties
Later this year the people of Scotland will vote in a referendum to decide whether or not they wish to remain part of the United Kingdom.
The claymore is a traditional Scottish sword.
