lirik lagu scotland will flourish – corries

scotland will flourish by the sweat of labor

the strength of our will and the force of our mind

forget the old battles, those days are over

hatred corrupts and friendship refines

let the scots be a nation proud of their heritage

with an eye to the future and a heart to forgive

and let us be rid of those bigots and fools

who will not let scotland live and let live

let us govern over country wisely and fairly

let each man and woman work with a will

and scotland will flourish secure in the knowledge

that we reap our own harvest and ring our own till

and let us be known for our kind hospitality

a hand that is open proper to friends

a hard working people, proud and unbending

scotland will thrive and win out in the end
