Come, Scots, drink a health, etc.
Their deeds were their duty to Scotland, and a';
Should the trumpet again sound the charge in a war,
Not a Russian or Frenchman will e're dare to stay,
When they hear the wild war shout of "Scotland for aye."
Come, Scots, drink a health to your "Second to none";
To your own bonnie Greys, to their victories won;
Come, drink to the luck of your Jocks, one and all,
Wherever their trumpet of duty may call.
Alfred C. E. Welby.
