The Tartan
There are hundreds
of tartans so lovely to see
And many a famous has
graced the bare knee
And the sett that I wear is
both ancient and braw
It's the pride o' my heart
and the dearest of a'
Then it's hey ! for the tartan and Ho ! for the tartan !
The stamp O' the hielands from Skye to dundee
And it's proud I am bearing the tartan I'm wearing
The pride O' my clan and the tartan for me
.
The Mackenzie is noted the Lindsay is
grand,
The gordon's familiar in many a land
And the Cameron men have a right to be proud
With the Campbells and stewarts, MacLeod of MacLeod
Chorus
There's the Bruce,
the Buchanan, the Frazer and MacBean
MacDonald,
MacMillan, MacPherson and MacLean
But I can't name
them all and it's no use to try
So I'll give you
"The Tartan from Solway to Skye"
Chorus
Aye ! The children of Scotia may roam the world o'er
But their thoughts aye return to the land they adore
And the skirl o' the pipes sends the heart beating high
And the tartans of home bring a tear to the eye
Chorus
