BANNERS OF BLUE.

Strike up, strike up, strike up, Scottish minstrels gay!
Tell of Wallace, that brave warlike man;
Sing also of Bruce--your banners display,
While each chief leads on his bold clan,
Here's success, Caledonia, to thee!
To the sons of the thistle so true!
Then march, gaily march, so canty and free--
There's none the banners o'blue.
March on, march on to the brazen trumpet's sound!
How quickly in battle array
Each brave Highland chief assembles his men,
And they march to the bagpipe to gay
Here's success, &c.
