Shouther to Shouther by Harry Lauder Lyrics

Have ye seen a' the men frae the braes an' the glen?
Have ye seen them a' marchin' awa'?
Have ye seen a' the men frae the wee but-an'-ben
And the gallants frae mansion an' ha'?

They are marchin' shouther to shouther
Determined an' proudly they gang
They are marchin' shouther to shouther
But deep doun there's a parting pang

Have ye seen a' the men frae the hamlet an' toun
Whеre the mothers arе a' greetin' sair
While their laddies gang forth without murmur or froun
To defend our hames in terror

They are marchin' shouther to shouther
Wi' a sang on their lips as they gang
They are marchin' shouther to shouther
But deep doon there's a parting pang

Have ye been where the shells are bursting at large
Dealing death to our sodjers so brave
Where the kilties are waitin' the order to charge
For the allies' position to save?
They're not marchin' shouther to shouther
But expended they swiftly gang
Each stooping his burly shouther
As wi' bayonet he dashes along

Have ye seen others come forward to fill up the blanks
To uphold tradition so grand?
For they fight and they fight in the deathless ranks
To uphold Britain's stand

They are marchin' shouther to shouther
Wi' a sang on their lips as they gang
They are marchin' shouther to shouther
In a cause that will richt the wrang

They are marchin' shouther to shouther
Wi' a sang on their lips as they gang
They are marchin' shouther to shouther
In a cause that will richt the wrang
