[VERSE]
In[G] 1314, the twenty-[C]fourth of June,
Ki[D]ng Eddie says "We're ready now to s[G]teal the stone of Scone".
He[G] brought his biggest army but he ha[C]d backed a deuce,
at[D] Bannockburn he found that he was u[G]p against the Bruce.
[CHORUS]
W[G]ell, we raised our pipes and the English kept a-coming,
but they werena quite so happy w[D]hen we gie'd the p[G]ipes a blaw,
s[G]truck once more, they began a-running,
ready, steady, Eddie, go, i[D]t's time to sho[G]ot the craw.
[VERSE]
W[G]ell, we had a bowl of porridge and a[C] wee bit pinch of salt,
w[D]e had a dram of whisky and it was t[G]he finest malt.
W[G]e each wore a tammy and we wore th[C]e philibegs,
E[D]ddie was in terror when he seen [G]the hairy legs.
[CHORUS]
W[G]ell, we raised our pipes and the English kept a-coming,

ready, steady, Eddie, go, i[D]t's time to sho[G]ot the craw.
[VERSE]
No[G]w poor King Edward, ne[C]arly had a fit,
wh[D]en he seen his cavalry[G] falling doon a pit.
hi[G]s men looked up from t[C]he trap that Bruce had built,
an[D]d they were shocked to fin[G]d what was worn beneath the kilt.
[CHORUS]

[VERSE]
He [G]sent for his archers, a [C]group of country folk,
th[D]ey erred and they purred, [G]what a funny way they spoke,
wi[G]th those archers Eddi[C]e had a go,
bu[D]t they were as effective a[G]s the ones on radio.

On [G]the fastest horse that you [C]have ever saw,
Kin[D]g Eddie went a-racing o'er t[G]he Border and awa,

he[D] didn't like the welcome that [G]he got at Bannockburn.
