does haughty gaul invasion threat?

    tune—“push about the jorum.”

    does haughty gaul invasion threat?

    then let the louns beware, sir;

    there's wooden walls upon our seas,

    and volunteers on shore, sir:

    the nith shall run to corsincon,

    and criffel sink in solway,

    ere we permit a foreign foe

    on british ground to rally!

    we'll ne'er permit a foreign foe

    on british ground to rally!

    o let us not, like snarling curs,

    in wrangling be divided,

    till, slap! come in an unco loun,

    and wi' a rung decide it!

    be britain still to britain true,

    amang ourselves united;

    for never but by british hands

    maun british wrangs be righted!

    no! never but by british hands

    shall british wrangs be righted!

    the kettle o' the kirk and state,

    perhaps a clout may fail in't;

    but deil a foreign tinkler loun

    shall ever ca'a nail in't.

    our father's blude the kettle bought,

    and wha wad dare to spoil it;

    by heav'ns! the sacrilegious dog

    shall fuel be to boil it!

    by heav'ns! the sacrilegious dog

    shall fuel be to boil it!

    the wretch that would a tyrant own,

    and the wretch, his true-born brother,

    who would set the mob aboon the throne,

    may they be damn'd together!

    who will not sing “god save the king,”

    shall hang as high's the steeple;

    but while we sing “god save the king,”

    we'll ne'er forget the people!

    but while we sing “god save the king,”

    we'll ne'er forget the people!
