A Toast To Scotland
Raise your glasses on high,
while a toast I propose.
“To the glory of Scotland.
And to Hell wi’ her foes.
To the brave lads who died,
for each cause that arose”.
They brought honor and glory
to Scotland.
Those bold kilted warriors
life’s blood was shed.
That the proud Lion Rampant,
fly free overhead,
The ”Ladies from Hell”,
were the enemy’s dread.
They brought honour and glory
to Scotland.
Their piper they followed,
through each battlefield.
And they gallantly fought,
till the enemy reeled.
Until victory was theirs, for
they never would yield.
They brought honour, and
glory to Scotland.
Now! A toast to the hero’s
of world war two.
Who fought all through
Europe, and Africa too.
Who died in the Far East, for
me, and for you.
And the honour and glory of
Scotland.
And let us drink to the end,
of that curse we abhor.
The death, and destruction,
and horror of war.
But stay ready to fight, for
the land we adore.
And the honour, and glory, of
Scotland.

Saint Andrew's Cross, on
your field of blue.
