"BOTH SIDES THE TWEED"

Greetings and Salutations to All my Kith and Kin and All the Ships in Outer Space:

For the best effect, please be sure to enjoy watching, in "FULL SCREEN" mode, my homemade amateur video recording of ME (!), performing, by ear, "BOTH SIDES THE TWEED", as I accompany myself by strumming simple chords on my Yamaha G-130A classical guitar.

"BOTH SIDES THE TWEED"

VERSE # 01:
What's the Spring breathing
Jasmine and rose?
What's the Summer
With all its gay train?
What's the splendor
Of Autumn to those
Who've bartered
Their freedom for gain?

CHORUS:
Let the love
Of our land's sacred right
To the love
Of our people succeed.
Let friendship and honor unite
And flourish on
Both sides the Tweed.

VERSE # 02:
No sweetness,
The senses can cheer,
Which corruption
And bribery bind.
No brightness,
The sun can e'er clear,
For honor's the sum
Of the mind. 

VERSE # 03:
Let virtue distinguish
The brave.
Place riches
In lowest degree.
Think them poorest
Who can be a slave;
Them richest,
Who dare to be free!
