Lyrics
(black mountain male choir)
o flower of scotland
when will we see your like again
that fought and dies for
your wee bit hill and glen
and stood against him
proud edward’s army
and sent him homeward
tae think again…
(the corries)
the hills are bare now
and autumn leaves lie thick and still
o’er land that is lost now
which those so dearly held…
o flower of scotland
when will we see your like again
that fought and dies for
your wee bit hill and glen
and stood against him
proud edward’s army
and sent him homeward
tae think again…
(clancy brothers)
those days have passed now
and in the past they must remain
but we can still rise now
and be the nation again
that stood against him
proud edward’s army
and sent him homeward
tae think again
(barbara dickson)
o flower of scotland
when will we see your like again
that fought and dies for
your wee bit hill and glen
and stood against him
proud edward’s army
and sent him homeward
tae think again…
