1320 The year was 1320
In the Abbey of Arbroath
Where the sons of sovereign Scotland
First took their solemn oath
Chorus
For freedom we'll endeavour
For liberty we'll strive
To England, No Surrender!
While 100 true Scots survive!
On that glorious occasion
Was Scotland's future writ
To foreign domination
We never shall submit
Chorus
The words of promise spoken
To calm our bitter steel
Like blades of grass lie broken
Beneath the Saxon heel
Chorus
But should our chosen fail us
And kneel at London's door
Lest treason should assail us
We'll take to the steel once more
