Scots Wha Hae by Robert Burns

Here's tae us, wha's like us? Gey few and they're a' deid!
Burns' poem inspired by Barbour's Brus. From an old reel-to-reel tape, singer as yet unidentified.

Note that the singer has misguidedly changed a crucial line. He sings "but we shall be free" instead of "but they shall be free", i.e. the men at Bannockburn may die, but they are determined that their descendants will be free men.
