Life in Newburgh on Ythan

By Talpa

Somewhere in the People's Republic of Alba.

"The people's flag is deepest red,
It shrouded oft our martyred dead
And ere their limbs grew stiff and cold,
Their hearts' blood dyed its every fold.
So raise the scarlet standard high,
Beneath its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here."

Irishman Jim Connell wrote the song's lyrics in 1889
