Does Haughty Gaul Invasion Threat?

  does haughty gaul invasion threat?
  tune—“push about the jorum.”
  does haughty gaul invasion threat?
  then let the louns beware, sir;
  there's wooden walls upon our seas,
  and volunteers on shore, sir:
  the nith shall run to corsincon,
  and criffel sink in solway,
  ere we permit a foreign foe
  on british ground to rally!
  we'll ne'er permit a foreign foe
  on british ground to rally!
  o let us not, like snarling curs,
  in wrangling be divided,
  till, slap! come in an unco loun,
  and wi' a rung decide it!
  be britain still to britain true,
  amang ourselves united;
  for never but by british hands
  maun british wrangs be righted!
  no! never but by british hands
  shall british wrangs be righted!
  the kettle o' the kirk and state,
  perhaps a clout may fail in't;
  but deil a foreign tinkler loun
  shall ever ca'a nail in't.
  our father's blude the kettle bought,
  and wha wad dare to spoil it;
  by heav'ns! the sacrilegious dog
  shall fuel be to boil it!
  by heav'ns! the sacrilegious dog
  shall fuel be to boil it!
  the wretch that would a tyrant own,
  and the wretch, his true-born brother,
  who would set the mob aboon the throne,
  may they be damn'd together!
  who will not sing “god save the king,”
  shall hang as high's the steeple;
  but while we sing “god save the king,”
  we'll ne'er forget the people!
  but while we sing “god save the king,”
  we'll ne'er forget the people!
