Parcel of Rogues in a Nation by Deryn Cullen - Cellist published on 2013-03-07T11:50:37Z Cello arrangement of the early 19th century Scottish Folk Song, Parcel of Rogues in a Nation (based on the poem by Robert Burns - 1791). (The song's lyrics are in Lowlands Scots which is similar in origin but separate from English. Burns was a very literate and well-educated man and wrote both in English and Scots.) Fareweel to a' our Scottish fame, Fareweel our ancient glory; Fareweel ev'n to the Scottish name, Sae fam'd in martial story. Now Sark rins over Solway sands, An' Tweed rins to the ocean, To mark where England's province stands- Such a parcel of rogues in a nation! What force or guile could not subdue, Thro' many warlike ages, Is wrought now by a coward few, For hireling traitor's wages. The English stell we could disdain, Secure in valour's station; But English gold has been our bane- Such a parcel of rogues in a nation! O would, ere I had seen the day That Treason thus could sell us, My auld grey head had lien in clay, Wi' Bruce and loyal Wallace! But pith and power, till my last hour, I'll mak this declaration; We're bought and sold for English gold- Such a parcel of rogues in a nation (Thanks as ever to Wikipedia) Genre Film Music Comment by J.Rivas Beautiful and full of Celtic warmth,inspirational my lady. 2015-11-03T10:56:07Z Comment by Creation X Recording Your playing is stunning as ever Deryn. it really moves me.
