Wi' a hundred pipers, an' a', an' a',
Wi' a hundred pipers, an' a', an' a',
We'll up an' give them a blow, a blow
Wi' a hundred pipers, an' a', an' a'.
O it's oer the border awa', awa'
It's oer the border awa', awa'
We'll on an' we'll march to Carlisle hall
Wi' its yetts, its castle an' a', an a'.
Chorus:
Wi' a hundred pipers, an' a', an' a',
Wi' a hundred pipers, an' a', an' a'.
We'll up an' give them a blow, a blow
Wi' a hundred pipers, an' a', an' a'.
O! our sodger lads looked braw, looked braw,
Wi' their tartan kilts an' a', an' a',
Wi' their bonnets an' feathers an' glitt'rin' gear,
An' pibrochs sounding so sweet and clear.
Will they all return to their ain dear glen?
Will they all return our Heilan' men?
Second sighted Sandy looked fu' wae.
An' mithers grat when they march'd away.
Chorus
The Esk was swollen so red, so deep,
But side by side the brave lads keep;
Twas a thousand swam to fowl English ground
An' danced them dry to the pibroch's sound.
Dumfounded the English they saw, they saw,
Dumfounded they heard the blow, the blow,
Dumfounded they ran awa', awa',
From a hundred pipers an' a', an' a'.
Chorus
