 Here's a health to the land of victorious Bruce,

And the champions of liberty's cause!

And may their example fresh heroes produce,

In defence of our rights and our laws.

Here's a health, &c.

Here's a health to the land where bold Wallace unfurled

His bright banner of conquest and fame—

The terror of foemen, the pride of the world!—

Long may Scotland hold dearly his name!

And still, like their fathers, our brothers are true,

And their valour with pleasure we see;

Of the wreaths that were won at renowned Waterloo

There's a bough of the laurel for thee.

Here's a health, &c.

Here's success to the shamrock, the thistle, the rose,

May they ever in harmony twine!

And should wily discord again interpose,

Let us challenge each other in wine.

For while we're united, foes threaten in vain,

And their daring our fame shall increase,

Till the banner of Victory o'er land and main,

Triumphant is waving in peace.

Here's a health, &c.
