Your Leaders Will Betray You Poem by John Fenton Mcleish

Well, are you prepared to die for Scotland
For freedom will not come without a fight
The powers that rule the throne of england
Won't let our independence see the light

You talk of a free Scottish nation
But will you dare put your life on the line
Boasting of our emancipation
Just like a drunkard before closing time

The red coats will kill there can be no doubt
Don't complain when they drag you from your kin
For this is what civil war is about
So make sure you're one hundred percent in

Commit yourself and prepare for attack
Once you cross the line there's no going back
