Both Sides The Tweed - Cara Dillon

What's a spring breathing jasmine and rose

What's a summer with all it's gay train

What's the splendour of autumn to those

Who've barter'd their freedom for gain

Let the love of our land's sacred rights

To the love of our people succeed

Let friendship and honour unite

And flourish on both sides the Tweed

No sweetness the senses can cheer

Which corruption and bribery blind

No brightness that gloom can e'er clear

For honour's the sun of the mind

Let the love of our land's sacred rights

To the love of our people succeed

Let friendship and honour unite

And flourish on both sides the Tweed

Let virtue distinguish the brave

Place riches in lowest degree

Think them poorest who can be a slave

Them richest who dare to be free

Let the love of our land's sacred rights

To the love of our people succeed

Let friendship and honour unite

And flourish on both sides the Tweed

Let the love of our land's sacred rights

To the love of our people succeed

Let friendship and honour unite

And flourish on both sides the Tweed
