W:Wha sae base as be a slave? Let him turn and flee! W:Wha for Scotland's king and law, Freedom's sword will strongly draw, W:Freeman stand, or freeman fa', Let him follow me! W: W:3 W:By oppression's woes an' pains, By your sons in servile chains, W:We will drain our dearest veins, But they shall be free! W:Lay the proud usurpers low! Tyrants fall in every foe! W:Liberty's in every blow! Let us do or dee!
