BANNOCKBURN ^^ In 1314, the twenty-fourth of June King Eddie says "We're ready now to steal the stone of Scone" He brought his biggest army but discovered he'd backed a duece At Bannockburn he found that he was up against a Bruce CHORUS: Well, we raised our pipes and the English kept a-coming But they werena quite so happy when we gie'd the pipes a blaw Struck once more, they began a-running Ready steady Eddie, go, it's time to shoot the craw

@Thrashslashedmashedp Not American. Not everyone who doesn't bother with the minute details of foreign places' ancient history is American. Also, it's been TWO SODDING YEARS since I made the mistake, apologized for it, and people still love to harp on about it regardless.
Funny old internet, isn't it?
-
@XanderMorhaime ...Ironic, seeing as it was Scotland vs England back then aha. Americans with history, I love it.
-
@XanderMorhaime "The Battle of New Orleans" is based from this tune, like load of American tunes that have been based on old Scottish and Irish songs
-
Great song! :D
-
@XanderMorhaime that's because the americans took the tune and changed the words to it--a lot of the americans at this time had roots from england and scotland
-
@XanderMorhaime You realize this song uses the same melody and meter… in fact, this is a parody of the Battle of New Orleans. Good ear
-
and those britons were celts, not the english
-
@rosswatt1979 Well there were Britons, but no British, that's true.
-
@juv7 Not my version of history..........I just posted the words to the song after someone was after them pal. ALBA GU BRA

I'm reminded of "The Battle of New Orleans" listening to this for some reason. And it's not just because both are about Brits getting their tails kicked. The chorus especially is very similar in rhythm...
