It took a little longer than four months to arrive at Bannockburn. Took better men too.
With apologies to Robert Burns...
Scott's Wae Used
Scott's wae used whe' Kerry bled, Scott's wham moppin counters spread Wi' coffee stain 'n' beef blood red, Or welcomed wi' a brie.
Endless day and endless hour; We hear past years o' battle sour; From dourest shroud 'neath Edward's power— Boston knavery.
Wha wad sich a way behave? Wha wad rant a coward's rave! Wha elect a traitor knave? Hear him cop a plea!
Wha for country's land and law Freedom's sword will strongly draw, Freeman stand, or freeman fa', Surely it ain't he.
Opposition's nuanced brains; By concessions lose our gains! Ne'er forestall our Spanish trains, Wait we must, and see!
Lay'd one twenty 'near the foe, Lay'd the broken brothers low! Lept the boat by starb'd bow, Left 'is crew, tae flee.
