—LYRICS IN DESCRIPTION— A single bagpipe/vocal piece named “Sgt. Mackenzie” which is from the We Were Soldiers soundtrack. This is a very sad song, just kinda forces you to think about our Veterans. One of my absolute favourite musical pieces. All of this accompanied by the beauty of Scotland.
Please Enjoy, like I had enjoyed making this
ORIGINAL SCOTTISH VERSION
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
When they come a wull staun ma groon
Staun ma groon al nae be afraid
Thoughts awe hame tak awa ma fear
Sweat an bluid hide ma veil awe tears
Ains a year say a prayer faur me
Close yir een an remember me
Nair mair shall a see the sun
For a fell tae a Germans gun
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
When they come I will stand my ground
Stand my ground I’ll not be afraid
Thoughts of home take away my fear
Sweat and blood hide my veil of tears
Once a year say a prayer for me
Close your eyes and remember me
Never more shall I see the sun
For I fell to a Germans gun
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Where before many more have gone
In memory of Sgt. Charles Stuart MacKenzie
Seaforth Highlanders
Who along with many others gave up his life
So that we can live free
We will remember them

Scotsman were really true warriors in their day, youd be a fool to under estimate an army of scotsman armed with only stones as they were really prepared to die for their beliefs. and their wives suffered much agony and anguish over this, but scotsman had to earn respect from their women all they had to do is be men and be mature as being drawn into battle for a scotsman was the last resort. However battle was no problem resorting too for the greater good of the scotish clans.
