Hey folks throughout the land
ReplyDeleteIt's time to make a stand
That time is here and now
Stand up for Scotland proud
Let's hear it clear and loud
We've earned the right and how
How come we wrote the USA's Rights of Man?
How come we freed the French and not our own land?
We fought at Anzio
We stormed the G.P.O.
We've earned the right to be free
We march for CND
Helped set Mandela free
Stood up for Vietnam
Campaigned for East Timor
Said No to that illegal war
Now say hand's off Iran
And Africa, we say cancel the debt
Gie her fair trade, and gie her people a break
We cry when Annie sings
We'd make Midge Ure our King
We've earned the right to be free
Hey folks throughout the earth
Who know what freedom's worth
You know we're on your side
You'll find a welcome here
If your land's a place of fear
You're part of Scotland's tribe
Our freedom ain't no flag or lilly-white home
Our freedom's in our mind, a Rabbie Burns poem
Come help us build the Land that Jimmy Reid had planned
We've earned the right to be free
