From my father's veins my life I drew, as in patriots arms I lay and from those lips learned the lessons true that have steered me day by day. and nursed to rest on a loving breast and rocked at a patriot's knee, God strengthen still my mind and will, and the patriot's heart in me. The loyal heart, the patriot's heart from the shame of slavery free, God strengthen still my mind and will, and the patriots heart in me. Now my home is where the Coolin peaks rise towering o'er the waves and the unbound sea and the grandeur free forbids me live a slave, the waves that pound on the rocks around seem to roar out liberty and with each strong blast beats firm and fast the patriot's heart in me Chorus Now I've led my nation's blood so drage and have sung her deathless songs I've mourned her grief from age to age, and I've learned to right her wrongs. and when I saw to unjust law she'd never bow the knee, O stronger yet for Scotland beat this patriot heart in me.
