The Souters of Selkirk

UP wi’ the Souters o’ Selkirk,
  And down wi’ the Earl of Home;
And up wi’ a’ the braw lads,
  That sew the single-soled shoon.

Fye upon yellow and yellow,
  And fye upon yellow and green,
But up wi’ the true blue and scarlet,
  And up wi’ the single-soled sheen.

Up wi’ the Souters o’ Selkirk,
  For they are baith trusty and leal;
And up wi’ the Men o’ the Forest,
  And down wi’ the Merse to the deil.

1. The Banks o’ Glaizart

3. Kitty of Coleraine
4. King Cormac’s Crown
5. Gathering of Atholl
