A great song to sing about the March from Dawn - also highly suitable when you want to have a stab at any Marcher that develops airs of being better than the rest of us!
Sheet music available here
The first half of each verse is the same every time - so a great one for everyone to join in with, there! Original song 'Thaney' by Karine Polwart. Words by Jude.
Rise up now and break your shackles Join us as we march along Sister side by side with brother Till we march ten thousand strong I shall have no lord and master Sitting in his halls of stone Sow no corn and reap no harvest But for land that's ours alone
Rise up now and break your shackles Join us as we march along Sister side by side with brother Till we march ten thousand strong I shall wear no leash and collar I shall be no rich man's hound Let the scraps from off his table Lie uneaten on the ground
Rise up now and break your shackles Join us as we march along Sister side by side with brother Till we march ten thousand strong Never more we'll bow and curtsy Never more we'll bend the knee Ours will be a bond of equals Forged in trust and loyalty
Rise up now and break your shackles Join us as we march along Sister side by side with brother Till we march ten thousand strong You who serve a cruel master You who long to be set free Take the yoke from off your shoulders Rise up now and follow me
Rise up now and break your shackles Join us as we march along Sister side by side with brother Till we march ten thousand strong Raise your head and raise the banner Fall in now behind the drum Foes shall quail and tyrants tremble As they hear the Marchers come
