Library - Flower of Scotland

Oh, Flower of Scotland
When will we see your like again
That fought and died for your wee bit hill and glen?
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward tae think again.

The hills are bare now
And autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er land that is lost now
Which those so dearly held
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward tae think again.

Those days are past now
And in the past must remain
But we can still rise now
And be a nation again
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward tae think again

Written in the late Sixties by Ronnie Brown and Roy Williamson, known as The Corries.
