G C F C G But I can't understand why we let someone else rule our land, NC C we're cap in hand. C F G I could get a broken jaw from being in a fight, C F G I know it's evening when day turns to night, C F G I can understand why Stranraer lie so lowly, C F G They could save a lot of points by signing Hib's goalie. G C F C G But I can't understand why we let someone else rule our land, NC C we're cap in hand. F C G C We fight when they ask us, F C G C We boast then we cower, F C G C We beg for a piece of F G What's already, what's already, what's already, ours.
