The Real McKenzies - Scottish and Proud Lyrics

Well gather round people and I'll tell ye a story
A story so auld from a time long gone by
It comes from the highlands where wind blows the heather
To think of it now brings a tear to my eye...

Well the romans invaded what's now called Great Britain
But Scots were so tough, they could not take all
They captured the southern oxen and used them as slaves
They toiled day and night up at Hadrian's Wall...

With tartans a sailin'
Pipers a wailin'
Laddies and lassies
Apart from the crowd
When the fightin' is done
The battle is won
There we'll be standin'
Scottish and proud
Oh yeah, we're Scottish and proud

So if you're a fighter and scrappin' a lot
You'd best shy away if you're scrappin' with a Scot
With one mighty blow yer head will be squished
And then he'll let his scottie dog lick blood from his fist...

With tartans a sailin'
Pipers a wailin'
Laddies and lassies
Apart from the crowd
When the fightin' is done
The battle is won
There we'll be standin'
Scottish and proud
Oh yeah, we're Scottish and proud

I tell ye, Scottish and proud
We're fuckin' Scottish and proud
I say we're Scottish and proud
Oh yeah, we're Scottish and proud
We're fuckin' Scottish and proud
I say we're Scottish and proud
Oh yeah, we're Scottish and proud
