Caledonia

Caledonia her laund is oor laund,
Caledonia her laund is ma laund
A laund wherr ithers ur walcome,
As we haud oot oor hand
In friendship an tak ye aw in,
As brithers fur aw that.

Caledonia we hailse you foriver,
Caledonia the braw kintre,
Whaur fowk ur aye at hame,
Wherr ithers feel richt at hame, 
Whaur affront is ne.er oor aim,
An deceit fur laund wi lea alane.

Caledonia yer nae wanes slave,
Caledonia ne,er unner Sassenach fit,
A laund fu o kemps  aplenty,
Free tae skail guid  rid bluid,
We urny  hinder tae scowth-and -roth
An will fecht tae uphaud oor richts.

A kintre o men free wi lealtie tae,
Auld alba caws tae us frae whiles bygane,
Wi sangs an ports fae the pipes ,
Filling the hairt wi  pride an courage,
An we will fechttae protect oor ain,
An free auld alba frae colonial pain.

The Drummer Boy

the dumbest sports model
an open bottle and an NFL player
especially if they used to be a gator
come on steve spurrier
raise better babies
in my day they
behaved
thats what he would say?no way
cave urban myer
and say you paid marc richt
before i make it stick
knife point style
