Celtic Bagpipe Music - Sgt. Mackenzie

---LYRICS IN DESCRIPTION--- A single bagpipe/vocal piece named "Sgt. Mackenzie" which is from the We Were Soldiers soundtrack. This is a very sad song, just kinda forces you to think about our Veterans. One of my absolute favourite musical pieces. All of this accompanied by the beauty of Scotland.

Please Enjoy, like I had enjoyed making this


ORIGINAL SCOTTISH VERSION

Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun

When they come a wull staun ma groon
Staun ma groon al nae be afraid

Thoughts awe hame tak awa ma fear
Sweat an bluid hide ma veil awe tears

Ains a year say a prayer faur me
Close yir een an remember me

Nair mair shall a see the sun
For a fell tae a Germans gun

Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun

Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun

Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone

When they come I will stand my ground
Stand my ground I'll not be afraid

Thoughts of home take away my fear
Sweat and blood hide my veil of tears

Once a year say a prayer for me
Close your eyes and remember me

Never more shall I see the sun
For I fell to a Germans gun

Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone

Where before many more have gone

In memory of Sgt. Charles Stuart MacKenzie
Seaforth Highlanders
Who along with many others gave up his life
So that we can live free

We will remember them

A stone would feel emotion, and he who doesn't is a poor excuse for a man. To all Veterans, and to all the Fallen, Slainte! Thank you!

SCOTLAND!!!!!!

FREEDOM!!!!!!!

[douglasward84]

@1989bak U have no idea! scotland has a population less that of london, and near the same as norway. norway is an oil producing superpower. Aberdeen is the oil capital of the uk. westminster relies on scotlands oil revenue and tourism. this is why english MPs are fighting scottish independance and using scare tactics to do just that. An independant scotland would thrive more than it ever could under westminster rule..... also give us back our stone :)
