A Parcel o' Rogues Songtext
von The Corries

Fareweel tae a′ oor Scottish fame
Fareweel our ancient glory
Fareweel even tae oor Scottish name
Sae famed in martial story Noo Sark runs o'er the Solway sands
Tweed runs tae the ocean
Tae mark where England′s province stands
Such a parcel o' rogues in a nation


O, would, or I had seen the day
That 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 mak this declaration
We are bought and sold for English gold
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!
