William Wallace was a Scot
and worked with what he got
played the game of war
and lost everything, and more

Through history and beyond
Scots have and will respond
with mobs of battle spend
fighting unto the end

Ever in the mind
the tune, the song, reminds
where and what, you've been
fighting for kith, and kin

Down through the ages
past all the fools and sages
at every gathering, tattoo
the Scots are tried, and true

The song not just a sing
the possibilities it brings
every time it stays, as
Scotland the brave
and the black bear play
