W:  Wi' rocks o' the Nevis and Gairy,

W:    Ne'er fear'd for the face of a fae;
W:  By King and my Country I'll stand ay,
W:    Whenever they're threaten'd wi' wae.
W:  When arm'd, and plac'd in my station,
W:    To march, and to front, and to wheel,

W:4.Auld Scotland was never sae tipsy,
W:    Nor strutted sae braw in her gear.
