| For a' yon glory that's aboot yer heid | B |
| Yon licht that haps ye an' the hosts that's wi' ye | A |
| Aye but ye live an' it's mysel' that's deid | B |
| - | |
| They gae'd frae mill and mart frae wind blawn places | C |

| But weary een like mine is no for seein' | E |
| An' gin they saw they wad be blind wi' licht | B |
| - | |
| Daith canna' kill The mools o' France lie o'er ye | A |
| An' yet ye live O sodger o' the Lord | B |
| For Him that focht wi' daith an' dule afore ye | A |
| He gie'd the life 'twas Him that gie'd the sword | B |
| - | |
| But gin ye see my face or gin ye hear me | A |
| I daurna' ask I maunna' seek to ken | E |
| Though I should dee wi' sic a glory near me | A |
| By nicht or day come ben my bairn come ben | E |
