FAILTE GU ALBA - WELCOME TO SCOTLAND
That man who supports independence Him in that parliament; him on the telly – aye, him Papers say he’s the only one to share the dream, don’t they He’s only one man mind you.
But see that mother who supports independence Lives down the road from me – aye, her Wakes up, rubs her eyes, brews the tea Comes by with her shopping and all that Has three kids, penniless as she is Wants them to go to university she says She’s only one mother mind you.
And see that guy who supports independence Spoke to him on the bus to work – aye, him Works a shift, dreams, gets by Says he’s all green; windfarms, nae trident and that Wants a government closer to home So’s he can keep up a wage He’s only one guy mind you.
And see that migrant who supports independence Came from India with his family – aye, him Lives in an old tenement True Scotsman to the bone Says India did it years ago: What’s taking you so long? Self-governance, the human struggle and all that He’s only one migrant mind you.
And see that teacher who supports independence Works in that school round the corner – aye, her Holds class, reads books, tells stories The power of imagination! she tells them And they listen to her and dream Says it’s a new chapter, a new start and all that She’s only one teacher mind you.
But see what the papers call a one-man band All posturing, politics and that Sounds more like an orchestra out on the streets Waking restless dreamers to a call.
Yes that's good I like it and here's how it came about
Oor nation's been treated like a wee dancing poodle Twa steps ahint wis oor place don't ye ken Till oot o' the hills and the mists o' Linlithgow Came a bonnie wee fechter, a leader o' men
Noo this wis a shock,this never should be Past the end o' their nose nae unionist could see Nae baubles nor sillar could buy this man aff As he took up his cudgel, but contained his wrath Wi' rapier wit he can ootsmart the rest As he bats them a' doon, they keech in their nest So he marched his troops onward and against a' the odds He delivered a promise a date wi' the Gods He's taen us tae greatness,it's jist like a dream A' the time he wid grin like the cat wi' the cream
While a' roon aboot they gripe an' they groan As he strips them each week richt doon tae the bone So tak yer time Eck, as much as ye want Let the Unionists fume let the Unionists rant The folk, them that matter, are happy ye see For they ken they're no skint too stupid too wee The world is awaiting an' we'll tak up oor place We'll be welcomed nae doot wi' much warmth an' much grace

Twa steps ahint wis oor place don't ye ken
Till oot o' the hills and the mists o' Linlithgow
Came a bonnie wee fechter, a leader o' men
Noo this wis a shock,this never should be
Past the end o' their nose nae unionist could see
Nae baubles nor sillar could buy this man aff
As he took up his cudgel, but contained his wrath
Wi' rapier wit he can ootsmart the rest
As he bats them a' doon, they keech in their nest
So he marched his troops onward and against a' the odds
He delivered a promise a date wi' the Gods
He's taen us tae greatness,it's jist like a dream
A' the time he wid grin like the cat wi' the cream
While a' roon aboot they gripe an' they groan
As he strips them each week richt doon tae the bone
So tak yer time Eck, as much as ye want
Let the Unionists fume let the Unionists rant
The folk, them that matter, are happy ye see
For they ken they're no skint too stupid too wee
The world is awaiting an' we'll tak up oor place
We'll be welcomed nae doot wi' much warmth an' much grace
