Both Sides The Tweed歌词

What's the spring breathing jasmine and rose
What's the summer with all its gay train

What's the splendor of autumn to those
Who've bartered their freedom for gain

Let the love of our land's sacred rights
To the love of our people succeed

Let friendship and honour unite
And flourish on both sides of the Tweed

No sweetness the senses can cheer
Which corruption and bribery bind

No brightness the sun can e'er clear
For honour's the sum of the mind

Let the love of our land's sacred rights
To the love of our people succeed

Let friendship and honour unite
And flourish on both sides of the Tweed

Let virtue distinguish the brave
Place riches in lowest degree

Think them poorest who can be a slave
Them richest who dare to be free

Let the love of our land's sacred rights
To the love of our people succeed

Let friendship and honour unite
And flourish on both sides of the Tweed

Let the love of our land's sacred rights
To the love of our people succeed

Let friendship and honour unite
And flourish on both sides of the Tweed
