Parcel o' Rogues  lyrics

1. Fareweel to all our  Scottish fame
   Fareweel our ancient glory
   Fareweel even to our  Scottish Cname
   Saefamed in martial story
   Now Sark rins to the Solway sands
   And Tweed rins to the Ocean.
   To mark where Englands province stands
   Sic a parcel of rogues in a nation
   
2. What  force or guile could  not  subdue
   Through many warlike ages
   Is wrought now by a coward  few
   For hireling traitors wages
   The English steel we could disdain
   Secure in valours station.
   But English gold has been our bane
   Sic a parcel of rogues in a nation.
   
3. I would, ere I had seen the day
   When treason thus could sell us
   My auld grey head had lain in clay
   Wi’ Bruce and loyal Wallace
   But pith and power ‘till my last hour
   I’ll make this declaration.
   We were bought and sold for English gold
   Sic a parcel of rogues in a nation.
