Lyrics

What's the spring-breathing Jasmine and Rose? What's the summer with all it's gay train Or the splendour of Autumn to those Who've bartered their freedom for gain? Chorus Let the love of our land's sacred rights To the love of our people succeed Let friendship and honour unite And flourish on both sides the Tweed No sweetness the senses can cheer Which corruption and bribery bind No brightness the gloom can e'er clear For honour's the sum of the mind Chorus Let the love of our land's sacred rights To the love of our people succeed Let friendship and honour unite And flourish on both sides the Tweed Let virtue distinguish the brave Place riches in lowest degree Think them poorest who can be a slave Them richest who dare to be free Chorus Let the love of our land's sacred rights To the love of our people succeed Let friendship and honour unite And flourish on both sides the Tweed Chorus Let the love of our land's sacred rights To the love of our people succeed Let friendship and honour unite And flourish on both sides the Tweed
