THE ANTHEMS FOR THE SING-A-LONG

The Visitors ~ SCOTLAND

O FLOWER OF SCOTLAND (Match Day Version)

Verse 1:

O flower of Scotland
When will we see your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

Verse 3:

Those days are passed now
And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now
And be the nation again
That stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again



THE HOST NATION IRELAND HAVE 2 ANTHEMS

1. A SOLDIER'S SONG (Anthem of the Republic Of Ireland)

2. IRELAND'S CALL (Anthem of the Ireland Rugby Union uniting North and South)


A SOLDIER’S SONG

We'll sing a song, a soldier's song,
With cheering rousing chorus,
As round our blazing fires we throng,
The starry heavens o'er us;
Impatient for the coming fight,
And as we wait the morning's light,
Here in the silence of the night,
We'll chant a soldier's song.

Chorus:
Soldiers are we
whose lives are pledged to Ireland;
Some have come
from a land beyond the wave.
Sworn to be free,
No more our ancient sire land
Shall shelter the despot or the slave.
Tonight we man the gap of danger
In Erin's cause, come woe or weal
"Mid cannons" roar and rifles peal,
We'll chant a soldier's song.

In valley green, on towering crag,
Our fathers fought before us,
And conquered 'neath the same old flag
That's proudly floating o'er us.
We're children of a fighting race,
That never yet has known disgrace,
And as we march, the foe to face,
We'll chant a soldier's song.


IRELAND'S CALL (Matchday Version)

Come the day and come the hour
Come the power and the glory
We have come to answer
Our Country's call
From the four proud provinces of Ireland

Ireland, Ireland
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call

Ireland, Ireland
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We’ll answer Ireland’s Call
We’ll answer Ireland’s Call

The players are out and here come the anthems

But first .... here's the President of Ireland MICHAEL D HIGGINS

HE SHAKES HANDS WITH THE PLAYERS

Scotland Captain John Barclay introduces him to the Scotland Team

HRH tries hard to be there as often as she can doesn't she? Wonder if the lads will be with England or Wales.

Suits England as well as Wales if Scotland wins :-D

Wills usually does Wales and Harry England ... to be fair! :-D :-D :-D
