HAME, hame, hame, O hame fain wad I be--
|
O hame, hame, hame, to my ain countree!
|
|
When the flower is i' the bud and the leaf is on the tree,
|
The larks shall sing me hame in my ain countree;
|
Hame, hame, hame, O hame fain wad I be--
|
O hame, hame, hame, to my ain countree!
|
|
The green leaf o' loyaltie 's beginning for to fa',
|
The bonnie White Rose it is withering an' a';
|
But I'll water 't wi' the blude of usurping tyrannie,
|
An' green it will graw in my ain countree.
|
|
O, there 's nocht now frae ruin my country can save,
|
But the keys o' kind heaven, to open the grave;
|
That a' the noble martyrs wha died for loyaltie
|
May rise again an' fight for their ain countree.
|
|
The great now are gane, a' wha ventured to save,
|
The new grass is springing on the tap o' their grave;
|
But the sun through the mirk blinks blythe in my e'e,
|
'I'll shine on ye yet in your ain countree.'
|
|
Hame, hame, hame, O hame fain wad I be--
|
O hame, hame, hame, to my ain countree!
