The Hundred Pipers.
Lady Nairn
Wi’ a hundred pipers an’ a', an’ a’,
Wi' a hundred pipers an’ a’, an’ a',
We'll up an' gie them a blaw,
Wi’
a hundred pipers an' a’, an’ a',
Oh!
It’s owre the Border awa', awa'
It’s
owre the Border awa', awa’
We'll on and we’ll
march to Carlisle ha'
Wi' its yetts, its castell,
an' a’, an' a’
Wi' a hundredpipers an' a' an' a'
Wi' a hundredpipers an' a' an' a'
We'll up an'gie them a blaw, a blaw
Wi'
a hundredpipers an' a' an' a'
Oh! our sodger lads
looked braw, looked braw,
Wi’ their tartans,
kilts an’ a', an’ a',
Wi’ their
bonnets, an’ feathers, an’ glittering gear
An'
pilbrochs sounding sweet and clear
Will they a’
return to their ain dear glen?
Will they a' return,
our heiland men?
Second-sighted Sandy looked fu'
wae
And mothers grat when they marched away
Chorus
The esk was swollen, sae red and sae deep
But shouther to shouther the brave lads keep
Twa
thousand swam owre to fell English ground
An’
danced themselves dry to the pibroch’s sound
Dumbfounder’d
the English saw---they saw---
Dumbfounder'd they
heard the blaw, the blaw
Dumbfounder’d, they
ran awa', awa'
From the hundred pipers an
a', an' a'
Chorus
Lady Nairn
