John McDermott Scotland Forever "Scotland the Brave" (LIVE) "a time to remember" DVD (2002) click "Show more" to see lyrics.
Lyrics:
Let Italy boast of her gay gilded waters
Her vines and her bowers and her soft sunny skies
Her sons drinking love from the eyes of her daughters
Where freedom expires amid softness and sighs
Scotland's blue mountains wild where hoary cliffs are piled
Towering in grandeur are dearer tae me
Land of the misty cloud land of the tempest loud
Land of the brave and proud land of the free
Enthroned on the peak of her own highland mountains
Te spirit of Scotia reigns fearless and free
Her green tartan waving o'er blue rock and fountain
And proudly she sings looking over the sea
Here among my mountains wild I have serenely smiled
When armies and empires against me were hurled
Firm as my native rock I have withstood the shock
Of England, of Denmark, of Rome and the world
But see how proudly her war steeds are prancing
Deep groves of steel trodden down in their path
The eyes of my sons like their bright swords are glancing
Triumphantly riding through ruin and death
Bold hearts and nodding plumes wave o'er their bloody tombs
Deepeyed in gore is the green tartan's wave
Shivering are the ranks of steel dire is the horseman's wheel
Victorious in battlefield Scotland the brave
Bold hearts and nodding plumes wave o'er their bloody tombs
Deepeyed in gore is the green tartan's wave
Shivering are the ranks of steel dire is the horseman's wheel
Victorious in battlefield Scotland the brave
Victorious in battlefield Scotland the brave

I love my Italian heritage, who would not if they were I? From the southernmost 'property', Sicily on my paternal Grandfather,s side and Tuscany on my Paternal Grandmother's side from Pisa. I was beyond my teens as a byproduct of my parents divorce in the sixties before I found out I was half Scottish. I knew my mother was not Italian but my father forbade anything other than Italian and I never questioned it. My mother was a dutiful, if scared wife. When I found out I was half Scottish of the Wallace clan I was taken aback with a history hereto unknown to me. I love it, I revel in it. It brings out the poetic/romance side of me. I am 78 next and really do appreciate my entire heritage.

Although an American, I have Scottish ancestors (the disestablished Clan McKinnon). And I have been a great McDermott fan for years--when I taught a WW1 course I use to played several of his songs for the students. This is the first time I have heard his rendition of Scotland the Brave. And I agree with the Dutchman--it should be the national anthem. Actually, I thought it was!

Ah once I could and did dance like this. I won competitions for the sword dance and I danced it both styles soft style like the lions here with my dancing pumps on and Fraser style as they danced it pre battle barefoot and much faster than the show style. At dances end the sword was lifted from the standard and tossed high in the air to be caught in hand o n way down. i was the only female who danced it this style in the Glasgow highlands institute in fact the style was virtually unknown then and I believe that now &55 years later virtually forgotten as the sword was thrown and caught every Fraser around would traditionally about Me Suis Prest our clan moto ( I am ready. Memories areprecious. I danced Highland from 3-62 can just manage a few reels these days sadly.

Irish step dance especially holds a permanent place in my heart (competed until a lung disorder developed & took me out -- never got to compete past Ladies Open.) One big blessing back then -- we ladies didn't have to stuff butt-length hair up under those ridiculous curly-q wigs of today, & the guys wore kilts in competition which meant those great leg muscles weren't hiding under slacks. Okay, great leg muscles -- I should have included ballet dancers... shame on me. Okayyy... let's take our 3's & 7's a step *cough* further ... there's no shortage of wonderful dance on this planet & no shortage of dancers with great leg muscles. :o)

Nice upbeat treatment of this one John. btw, you sing the acapella version of "Danny Boy" EXACTLY like my Irish Grandfather did, and you put it across perfectly. There are some artists, who, once they've done a tune, just nail it so well that none other can compare. That's what you did with "Danny Boy".
