THE TRUMP OF WAR.
The trump of war is sounding,
We hear, we hear the strain;
The steed impatient bounding,
Speeds to the battle-plain.
The hostile foe's advancing
In glittering array,
The sharpen'd steel is glancing,
With dread artillery.
Hey tutti taiti for our ain dear land!
Hey tutti taiti we fall where we stand!
Hey tutti taiti for our ain dear land!
Hey tutti taiti we fall where we stand!
We hear, we hear the strain;
The steed impatient bounding,
Speeds to the battle-plain.
The hostile foe's advancing
In glittering array,
The sharpen'd steel is glancing,
With dread artillery.
Hey tutti taiti for our ain dear land!
Hey tutti taiti we fall where we stand!
Hey tutti taiti for our ain dear land!
Hey tutti taiti we fall where we stand!
Scotland's clansmen gather,
Wi' the bonnet and the feather,
In grey and tartan plaidie,
Hanging sae gracefullie.
Hope our youth inspiring,
The battle-field desiring,
And, with a zeal untiring,
They shout for victory.
Hey tutti taiti, &c.
Wi' the bonnet and the feather,
In grey and tartan plaidie,
Hanging sae gracefullie.
Hope our youth inspiring,
The battle-field desiring,
And, with a zeal untiring,
They shout for victory.
Hey tutti taiti, &c.

The victory is glorious;
Britain still victorious;
While we rejoice in chorus,
Oh let us pray for peace.
Then heroes of the land and sea,
Returning to their ain countrie,
We'll live in peace and liberty,
And strife and warfare cease.
Hey tutti taiti for our ain dear land!
Hey tutti taiti we fall where we stand!
Hey tutti taiti for our ain dear land!
Hey tutti taiti we fall where we stand!
Britain still victorious;
While we rejoice in chorus,
Oh let us pray for peace.
Then heroes of the land and sea,
Returning to their ain countrie,
We'll live in peace and liberty,
And strife and warfare cease.
Hey tutti taiti for our ain dear land!
Hey tutti taiti we fall where we stand!
Hey tutti taiti for our ain dear land!
Hey tutti taiti we fall where we stand!
