The Arts of Scotland

What did I see?

The finest paintings

We sought and looked for

The efforts again and again

And stood beside them

Proud Pol's army

And kept them in Edinburgh

To think again.

The walls are bare now

The screens are quiet and still

O'er times that are past now

Which we so dearly held

And stood beside him

Proud Pol's army

And kept them in Edinburgh

To think again.

Those days are here now

And here they will remain

For we can still rise now

And do the same again

And stand beside him

Proud Pol's army

And keep them in Edinburgh

To think again.
