(início)
G C In 1314, the twenty-fourth of June, D G King Eddie says "We're ready now to steal the stone of Scone". G C He brought his biggest army but he had backed a deuce, D G at Bannockburn he found that he was up against the Bruce.
Chorus
G Well, we raised our pipes and the English kept a-coming, D G but they werena quite so happy when we gie'd the pipes a blaw, G struck once more, they began a-running, D G ready, steady, Eddie, go, it's time to shoot the craw.
Verse
G C Well, we had a bowl of porridge and a wee bit pinch of salt, D G we had a dram of whisky and it was the finest malt. G C We each wore a tammy and we wore the philibegs, D G Eddie was in terror when he seen the hairy legs.
Chorus
G Well, we raised our pipes and the English kept a-coming, D G but they werena quite so happy when we gie'd the pipes a blaw, G struck once more, they began a-running, D G ready, steady, Eddie, go, it's time to shoot the craw.
Verse
G C Now poor King Edward, nearly had a fit, D G when he seen his cavalry falling doon a pit. G C his men looked up from the trap that Bruce had built, D G and they were shocked to find what was worn beneath the kilt.
Chorus
G Well, we raised our pipes and the English kept a-coming, D G but they werena quite so happy when we gie'd the pipes a blaw, G struck once more, they began a-running, D G ready, steady, Eddie, go, it's time to shoot the craw.
Verse
G C He sent for his archers, a group of country folk, D G they erred and they purred, what a funny way they spoke, G C with those archers Eddie had a go, D G but they were as effective as the ones on radio.
Chorus
G Well, we raised our pipes and the English kept a-coming, D G but they werena quite so happy when we gie'd the pipes a blaw, G struck once more, they began a-running, D G ready, steady, Eddie, go, it's time to shoot the craw.
Verse
G C On the fastest horse that you have ever saw, D G King Eddie went a-racing o'er the Border and awa, G C he was fond of Scotland, but he never did return, D G he didn't like the welcome that he got at Bannockburn.
Chorus
G Well, we raised our pipes and the English kept a-coming, D G but they werena quite so happy when we gie'd the pipes a blaw, G struck once more, they began a-running, D G ready, steady, Eddie, go, it's time to shoot the craw.
