Memorial Day




There's a Corries song Liberty, I think I remember the lyrics:
By the cross our Andrew bore
By the sword our William wore
By the crown our Robert swore
To win our Liberty
Call the falcon frae the glen
Call the eagle frae the bend
Call the lion frae his den
To win our Liberty

By the man whose faith was old
By the man they sold for gold
By the man they'll never hold
To win our Liberty
Call the thieves o' Liddesdale
call the spears of Annandale
Call the brave of Yellowvale
To win our Liberty

By the arm that bends the bow
By the arm that plies the blow
By the arm that lays them low
To win our Liberty
Call the banners frae the west
Call the raven frae his nest
Call the clans that dance the best
To win our Liberty

By the field that once was green
By the shield that's silver sheen
By the sword in battle keen
To win our Liberty
Bless the man whose faith we hold
Bless the man in chains they sold
Bless the man in cloth o' gold
Wha won our Liberty
Bless the man whose faith we hold
Bless the man in chains they sold
Bless the man in cloth o' gold
Wha won our Liberty


And from Rod Stewart
