I just like that song and think it's one of the best corries songs

| Bannockburn ? The Corries King Eddie said were ready now to steal the stone of scone. He brought his biggest army but discovered then the truth, In Bannockburn he found that he was up against the Bruce! *Chorus* Well we raised our pipes and the English kept a coming, But they wirny quite so happy when we geed the pipes a blaw. Struck once more, they began a runnin, Ready, steady, Eddie, go its time to shoot the craw. Well we had a bowl of porridge and a wee bit pinch o' salt, We had a dram o' whisky and it was the finest malt. We each wore a tammy and we wore the philabeg, Eddie was in terror when he seen the hairy legs! (Chorus) Well, poor King Edward nearly had a fit, When he seen his cavalry fallin doon a pit. His men looked up from the trap that Bruce had built, And they were shocked to find out what was worn beneath the kilt. (Chorus) He sent forth archers, a group of country folk, They erred and they burred, what a funny way they spoke. With those archers, Eddie had a go, But they were as effective as the ones on radio. (Chorus) On the fastest horse that you ever saw, King Eddie went a racing o'er the border and awa' He was fond of Scotland, but never did return, He didn't like the welcome that he got at Bannockburn (Chorus) |
