I have been looking for a version of this song as sung by Luke Kelly, and could
not find it. So I figured it out, it sounds right to me. But open for any suggestions to it.
Farew[F]eel to all our Scott[C]ish fame
[F]Fareweel our a[G]ncient [F]glor[C]y
[F]Fareweel even to our Scot[C]tish name
[F]So famed in ma[G]rtial [F]stor[C]y
[C]Now Sark rins o[F]ver the [C]Solway [G]sands
And [F]Tweed r[G]ins to the [C]Oce[F]an.
To m[C]ark w[G]here [F]Englands [C]province s[F]tands
Sic a [C]parcel of [G]rogues in a [F]natio[C]n
What force or guile could not subdue
Thro' many warlike ages
Is wrought now by cowards few
For hireling traitor's wages
The English steel we could disdain
Secure in valor's station
But we`re bought and we`re sold for English gold
Sic a parcel of rogues in a nation
O would 'ere I had seen the day
That treason thus could sell us
My auld grey head had lain in clay
With Bruce and loyal Wallace
But pith and power to my last hour
I'll make this declaration
That we're bought and sold for English gold
Sic a parcel of rogues in a nation.
