Look how there shines through all the red-
The glory of a golden thread!
No other tartan, blue or green,
Or any tartan ever seen,
Can be compared with yours and mine-
The red that shows a golden line!
When, in the war, a tartan rag
Was sewn upon a yellow flag,
And all men followed it until
It proudly waved upon the Hill-
That tartan rag was yours and mine-
The red that shows a golden line!
Though tartans all, as well we
know,
Set every Scottish heart aglow,
Lochaber lads love one the best-
Leave them but that, and take the rest-
Leave them the one like yours and mine-
The red that shows a golden line! |
