Scotland for ever lyrics

Artist  : John mcdermott 
Song : Scotland for ever
 
Scotland for ever (scotland the brave) : to cliff
hanley

Let italy boast of her gay gilded waters
Her vines and her bowers and her soft sunny
skies
Her sons drinking love from the eyes of her
daughters
Where freedom expires amid softness and sighs
Scotland’s blue mountains wild where hoary cliffs
are piled
Towering in grandeur are dearer tae me
Land of the misty cloud land of the tempest loud
Land of the brave and proud land of the free
Enthroned on the peak of her own highland
mountains
Te spirit of scotia reigns fearless and free
Her green tartan waving o’er blue rock and
fountain
And proudly she sings looking over the sea
Here among my mountains wild I have serenely
smiled
When armies and empires against me were hurled
Firm as my native rock I have withstood the
shock
Of england, of denmark, or rome and the world
But see how proudly her war steeds are prancing
Deep groves of steel trodden down in their path
The eyes of my sons like their bright swords are
glancing
Triumphantly riding through ruin and death
Bold hearts and nodding plumes wave o’er their
bloody tombs
Deepeyed in gore is the green tartan’s wave
Shivering are the ranks of steel dire is the
horseman’s wheel
Victorious in battlefield scotland the brave
Bold hearts and nodding plumes wave o’er their
bloody tombs
Deepeyed in gore is the green tartan’s wave
Shivering are the ranks of steel dire is the
horseman’s wheel
Victorious in battlefield scotland the brave
Victorious in battlefield scotland the brave
