Wi’a Hundred Pipers by Lady Nairne
Chorus
Wi’ a hundred pipers an a’ an a’
Wi’ a hundred pipers an a’ an a’
We’ll up an gie them a blaw, a blaw
Wi’ a hundred pipers an a’ an a’
O’ it’s owre the Borders awa’ awa’
O’ it’s owre the Borders awa’ awa’
We’ll on an’ we’ll march to Carlisle ha’
Wi’ its yetts, its castle an a’ aw
Chorus
Wi’ a hundred pipers an a’ an a’
Wi’ a hundred pipers an a’ an a’
We’ll up an gie them a blaw, a blaw
Wi’ a hundred pipers an a’ an a’
Oh, our sodger lads look’d braw
Wi’ their tartan kilts, and a ‘and a’
Wi’ bonnets, feathers and glitterin’ gear
An’ pibrochs soundin’ sweet and clear
Will they a’ return to their ain dear glen?
Second-sichted Sandy loo’d fu’ wae
And mithers grat as they marched away
Chorus
Wi’ a hundred pipers an a’ an a’
Wi’ a hundred pipers an a’ an a’
We’ll up an gie them a blaw, a blaw
Wi’ a hundred pipers an a’ an a’
Oh, wha is foremost of a’, of a’?
Oh, wha doefs follow the blaw, the blaw?
