LYRICS

Land of the purple heather
Land of some shocking weather
Land of Elvis Presley's mother
Scotland the brave


Land of some high endeavours
Harry Potter, Ewan McGregor
Land of Sir Sean forever
Scotland the brave


Land o' tech computer dolls
Royal bank and Shopping Malls
Burger Kings but nae Polaris
Moscow, Houston, Texas, Paris


Hip hop, bhangla, Gaelic classes
River city, free bus passes
Rabbie Burns and bonnie lassies
Scotland the brave


Land of Mary and Prince Charlie
Adam Smith and Mick McGahey
Referendums, oor ain Parly
Scotland the brave


Land where the Poll Tax ended
Land where Dennis wis suspended
Land where Bairns they were offended
Scotland the brave


Land where the fox runs safe
Folk look forward tae old age
Our students get cash tae get clever
Warrant sales are gone forever


Liz McColgan, Henrik Larsson,
Andy Murray, Highland Dancin'
Murrayfield, the roar of Hampden
Scotland the brave


Land of all creeds and colours
Polish, English, Moslem brothers
Land where we live together
Scotland the brave


Where gay folks are defended
noo that the Clause has ended
John Knox was fair offended
Scotland the brave


James Connolly and John McLean
Still standing up for hungry weans
Annie Lennox, William Wallace
Joining in the freedom chorus


Land of the purple heather
Land of the shining rivers
Land of my heart forever
Scotland the brave


Land of the purple heather
Land of the shining rivers
Land of my heart forever
Scotland - the brave

  • i've looked for the lyrics everywhere but i dont know where are they. help please.

  • lyrics now added on right hand panel

  • Canadian Banjo? I know that we in the states tend to think we invented everything, but I think this is a little over the top. African or US-ok, but Canadian??? This isn't like arguing who's computer was the first real computer, this is like saying crepes came from New Zealand.

  • You misunderstand my friend

    it's a canadian gut - ian in alberta - that's palying the banjo

    Made in Hong Kong for all I know

    But he plays real fine, ...no?

  • Love it... *big cheesy grin!*

  • @Chopin742 Canadians are Scots and proud

  • I am a Scot living in the foul land of the Angles. (English Bastards) LOL. Can you send me a script of your words. Class and funny. Thank you

  • @AyeWeCan Ian made in Hong Kong. He may like chinese food, but I think he is proud of his American (OOPS!!), Canadian heritage. LOL. Ian is a great guy; he'll know I am joking =) Shuggy

  • Now I'll have to look up the original lyrics. Your version is fun.

    Scotland has had the banjo for nearly 150 years now. I'm glad the greatest Scottish melody is so well represented on the old 5 string. I feel inspired. My hat to the Canadian who played so well.

  • it aint a wee song mate. it's bloody huge. and it means a lot lol.

  • Alba Gu Brath! Scotland for it's people.
