The year was 1320, in the Abbey of Arbroath
Where the sons of sovereign Scotland, first took their solemn oath
For freedom we'll endeavour, for liberty we'll strive
To England, No Surrender!
While 100 true Scots survive!
On that glorious occasion, was Scotland's future writ
To foreign domination, we never shall submit
For freedom we'll endeavour, for liberty we'll strive
To England, No Surrender!
While 100 true Scots survive!
The words of promise spoken, to calm our bitter steel
Like blades of grass lie broken, beneath the Saxon heel
For freedom we'll endeavour, for liberty we'll strive
To England, No Surrender!
While 100 true Scots survive!
But should our chosen fail us, and kneel at London's door
Lest treason should assail us, we'll take to the steel once more
For freedom we'll endeavour, for liberty we'll strive
To England, No Surrender!
While 100 true Scots survive!
For freedom we'll endeavour, for liberty we'll strive
To England, No Surrender!
While 100 true Scots survive!
