wha, for scotland's king and law,

freedom's sword will strongly draw,

free-man stand, or free-man fa',

let him on wi' me!

by oppression's woes and pains!

by your sons in servile chains!

we will drain our dearest veins,

but they shall be free!

lay the proud usurpers low!

tyrants fall in every foe!

liberty's in every blow!—

let us do or die!
