SUBMISSION FOR PUBLICATION IN "AN CANACH"

"SCOTTISH SOLDIERS"

By: John Robert Mallernee
Bard of Clan Henderson

Scottish soldiers
Looking fine.
Royal Highlanders
On the line.
Those Scottish soldiers
Look so well,
But Scottish soldiers
Are sent to Hell.
Though Scottish soldiers
Are stoutly grown,
Yet Scotland's soldiers
Are not their own,
For British union
Has its fee,
And Scotland's country
Is not yet free.
Thus, Scottish soldiers
Are at England's call
To fight wherever
They're sent to fall.
Scotland's soldiers
Are the best
Sent by England
To face each test.
Scottish soldiers
Through many years
Have shed their blood
And hid their fears.
So, on they go,
Fierce and bold,
And by a bard,
Their tale is told.
