We don’t know where we’re going and whenever we’re coming back The crowd is going wild and they’ve been asking for “encore” The night is coming to an end, but there’ll be plenty more to come The places where I’m going and the places that I’ve been I drink a lot of whiskey and I drop dead on the floorĪnd when the cab is driving home and I remember when I like to dance with women and I sang it all before We were waiting ’till the bell would ring and we’d go home, on straightĪnd picking up our instruments, “it’s getting really late” Just learning ‘n turning by the way and living by the ruule I was lots of times in trouble, in my days at school So won’t you come along and drink a pint or two with me To sing about this fucking life in peace and harmony So there’s no other place, where I would rather be So come on move your dancing feet, when the music starts My fingers were not bleeding, but I really tried out hard I had my first guitar when I reached the age of ten I was born to be a singer, but I didn’t knew by then We’re playing lovely folk songs and some tunes half the night We try our very best to make you allright tonight We’re coming from the Flatlands, so some people say
Good evening lads and lassies, are you happy all the way The lyrics commonly used now were written about 1950 by Scottish journalist Cliff Hanley for singer Robert Wilson as part of an arrangement by Marion McClurg. “Scotland the Brave” is also the authorised pipe band march of the British Columbia Dragoons of the Canadian Armed Forces Lyrics “Flatlands” Scotland the Brave is the bagpipe tune David plays during Flatlands, it is a Scottish patriotic song, one of several often considered an unofficial Scottish national anthem. The tune was first played probably in the late 19th century. At the end of all our theatre shows we play this song to get the polonaise going, David & Maceal march through the concert hall and all the audience follows.
The lyrics to this song are written by our own William for the album Scotland’s Story, we performed it for the first time at our Celtic Folk Night in Wilhemshaven.
