we'll make the land republican! and the scottish break away
any body know the lyrisc to this song
i think it its a mix of "the sash my father wore" and somthing else
the first verse is the from the sash me father wore" but the rest is not, i believe it was performed by liam clancy.
when the scottish natioalists stoll this from ireland, it turned into a song about queen elizibeth, and thier thing was how could you have a second liz if the first liz never was, oh now scot land nay got a king and she has nay got a queen, but how an you have a secon liz wen the first liz has never been"
thank in advanced
Hello,
This song has apparently been recorded by Scottish artists like Alex Campbell, Archie Fisher and Hamish Imlach. The tune is "The Sash My Father Wore".

Coronation Coronach
(Thurso Berwick)
O, Scotland hesna got a King
And hesna got a Queen
For ye canny hae the saicint Liz
Whan the first yin's never been
Chorus:
Nae Liz the Twa, nae Lillibet the Wan
Nae Liz will ever dae
We'll mak oor land republican
In a Scottish breakaway
Her man's cried the Duke o Edinbury
He's wan o the Kiltie Greeks
O dinna blaw ma Kilts awa
'Cos Lizzie wears the breeks
He's a handsome man an he looks like Don Juan
He's beloved by the weaker sex
But it disnae really matter a damn
'Cos it's Lizzie signs the cheques
Noo her sister Meg's got a bonnie pair o legs
But she didnae want a German or a Greek
Pair auld Peter wis her choice, but he didnae suit the boys
So they sellt him up the creek
Here, but Meg wis fly an she beat them by an by
Wi Tony Hyphenated-Armstrong, ding! dong!
But behind the pomp an play, the question o the day
Wis who the hell did Suzy Wong? yum! yum!
Sae here's tae the Lion, the bonny Rampant Lion
An a lang streetch tae its paw
Gie a Hampden Roar, an' we're oot the door:
An ta-ta, ti Chairlie's maw
