Well, they came to the mountains with their guns and fire With their monies and their armies and their sheep And we left our homes in the middle of the night And a proud nation died in it's sleep
Way up high, where the flames can touch the sky Upon the lochs, and the names of the slain The bitter Scots Thistle will bloom again The bitter Scots will bloom again . . .
Then we marched to Tennessee, to another ancient land And heard the cries, and sighs in the trees But Scotland still calls to her faithful sons And tells the blind what she still sees
Way up high, where the flames can touch the sky Upon the lochs, and the names of the slain The bitter Scots Thistle will bloom again The bitter Scots will bloom again . . .
Well, it's too little too late, for the far and distant homes But all the scars and stars will not fade And the memories still burn in our hearts Of men again wanting what we've made
Way up high, where the flames can touch the sky Upon the lochs, and the names of the slain The bitter Scots Thistle will bloom again The bitter Scots will bloom again . . .
The devil take your fire—we will not turn away I will not be pushed again, upon these rocks I'll die or—
Way up high, where the flames can touch the sky Upon the lochs, and the names of the slain The bitter Scots Thistle will bloom again The bitter Scots will bloom again . . .Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
