G C In 1314, the twenty-fourth of June,D King Eddie says "We're ready now toG steal the stone of Scone".G He brought his biggest army but heC had backed a deuce,D at Bannockburn he found that he wasG up against the Bruce. [Chorus]G Well, we raised our pipes and the English kept a-coming,D but they werena quite so happy whenG we gie'd the pipes a blaw,G struck once more, they began a-running,D ready, steady, Eddie, go, it's timeG to shoot the craw. [Verse]G Well, we had a bowl of porridge andC a wee bit pinch of salt,D we had a dram of whisky and it wasG the finest malt.G We each wore a tammy and we wore theC philibegs,D G Eddie was in terror when he seen the hairy legs.

[Verse]G C Now poor King Edward, nearly had a fit,D G when he seen his cavalry falling doon a pit.G C his men looked up from the trap that Bruce had built,D G and they were shocked to find what was worn beneath the kilt.

[Verse]G C He sent for his archers, a group of country folk,D G they erred and they purred, what a funny way they spoke,G C with those archers Eddie had a go,D G but they were as effective as the ones on radio.

[Verse]G C On the fastest horse that you have ever saw,D G King Eddie went a-racing o'er the Border and awa,G C he was fond of Scotland, but he never did return,D G he didn't like the welcome that he got at Bannockburn. [Chorus]G Well, we raised our pipes and the English kept a-coming,D but they werena quite so happy whenG we gie'd the pipes a blaw,G struck once more, they began a-running,D ready, steady, Eddie, go, it's timeG to shoot the craw.
