In southern Glasgow he was born With the name of David Ross Inspired by those who'd fought before He took a pen as strong as a sword First was Wallace then came Bruce Bonnie Prince and many more Mounted on his two-wheeled horse Riding every single road Down to London he did march To pay tribute to the great hero An epic journey to Smithfield And he made it! On the rail of David Ross we are And we'll keep his legacy alive On the trail of David Ross we stand As he did for Scottish freedom Fighting bravely for his roots Over hills and glens he walked Crossing rivers, sailing lochs And enjoying a fine Scotch He wrote of Wallace, Rob the Bruce And Charlie Stuart - Scottish Lore Mounted on his two-wheeled horse Proud warrior in hiking-boots And today is time to give Respect to him for what he did While all men die not many live! On the trail of David Ross we are And we'll keep his legacy alive On the trail of David Ross we stand As he did for Scottish freedom
