I am William WallaceMy life was a mysterySome say born 1272Some say 1263Was dad Malcolm of Paisley?Maybe Alan from Ayr?Did I have a wife or no?Do you really care?They said I had a big red beardBut all you need to knowI was a Scottish rebelAnd the English were my foeWilliam Wallace, Scottish rebel!This is war I cried!Many English fought meAnd many English died...I took against the EnglishBack when I was fairly wee'Cause an Englishman called SelbyBullied my whole familyIt upset me so I stuck him deadLetras de cancionesWell wouldn't you?Then an English sheriff came alongGuess what- I killed him tooThey say he killed my wifeSo he deserved what he gotThen England's King Ed came for meOoh, I'm scared- notWilliam Wallace, Scottish rebel!Possibly six foot seven!But all that really matters is I sent Englishmen to heaven...40 000 English came to Sterling Bridge for meThey had to cross a narrow bridge to get to us you seeWe held them off, fought them backIt was no contestBridge collapsed, hundreds drownedOf course I killed the rest!Celebrate at Sterling BridgeAnother Scottish winBy decorating my swordWith the English general's skinWilliam Wallace, Scottish rebel!Scottish legend too!Fought for Scottish freedomWas a hero through and through...Here's where my rebel story comes unstuckI'd fought up defeated, I'd run out of luckSpent seven years playing hide and seekCaptured, sent to London, tried for treasonWhat cheek!King Ed hanged meThen a lovely touchPulled my guts out-Guess he didn't like me much!William Wallace, Scottish rebel!In Scotland my heart lives!Though sadly, my head wound upOn a spike on London bridge...
