Banners sic as this aince flew abune
Battlefields like Bannockburn; Culloden,
Juist as proodly, an wi nae less purpose.
The uniforms o thaim wha haud it heich,
Oan this braw Simmer’s day in Auchinleck,
Are sweatshirt, t-shirt, casual jeans an trainers –
Scotland’s fowk, stuill mairchin wi that purpose
That saw their graundsires bleed fir ither causes;
The Somme, Dunkirk, aye, an e’en Orgreave Cokeworks,
(tho medals werenae gien oot fir the latter!)
But, the battle, an the war, is aye the same,
See it here, an read it here, the day.
These are the people wha focht fir the people,
The graund auld cause, that’s spelt oot here in rid,
Nae revolution, juist fair shares fir aa.
Ye’ve mind o thon puir boy wha askt fir mair?
Ah’ve mind when miners goat the same short shrift,
Frae baton-wieldin bully boys oan horses,
Wha chairged doun throu the years frae Peterloo.
