Harry Lauder — Shouther to Shouther

Have ye seen a' the men frae the braes an' the glen? Have ye seen them a' marchin' awa'? Have ye seen a' the men frae the wee but-an'-ben And the gallants frae mansion an' ha'? They are marchin' shouther to shouther Determined an' proudly they gang They are marchin' shouther to shouther But deep doun there's a parting pang Have ye seen a' the men frae the hamlet an' toun Whеre the mothers arе a' greetin' sair While their laddies gang forth without murmur or froun To defend our hames in terror They are marchin' shouther to shouther Wi' a sang on their lips as they gang They are marchin' shouther to shouther But deep doon there's a parting pang Have ye been where the shells are bursting at large Dealing death to our sodjers so brave Where the kilties are waitin' the order to charge For the allies' position to save? They're not marchin' shouther to shouther But expended they swiftly gang Each stooping his burly shouther As wi' bayonet he dashes along Have ye seen others come forward to fill up the blanks To uphold tradition so grand? For they fight and they fight in the deathless ranks To uphold Britain's stand They are marchin' shouther to shouther Wi' a sang on their lips as they gang They are marchin' shouther to shouther In a cause that will richt the wrang They are marchin' shouther to shouther Wi' a sang on their lips as they gang They are marchin' shouther to shouther In a cause that will richt the wrang
