for the life of me,
i just couldn't remember the word's to said tune. in spite of having sung it during the weekly assembly whilst in primary school. for a [pseudo] scot, i ought to be mighty ashamed of meself:
As Scots emigrated around the world, they took the song with them.
ah, that may explain why it was a must-sing. i read off somewhere the other day that as the scottish community happened to be the largest, subsequently after the wee islet's founding; they contributed a huge sum of dosh to the building of the "oldest" [as in 19th century] anglican church ere. thus it was then called St Andrew's.
reet. the patron saint of scotland lent his name to a church of england. both side's will never allow such to take place back in the UK, innit.
oh btw, i just found the word's. in order to move yer mate's to tears for best effect, ye have to warble it in yer finest heeland [highland] brogue.
aye.
