I shall tell you of William Wallace
Historians from England will say I am a liar
But history is written by those who have hanged heroes
The king of Scotland had died without a son
And the king of England, a cruel pagan known as Edward the Longshanks
Claimed the throne of Scotland for himself
Scotland's nobles fought him, and fought each other, over the crown
So Longshanks invited them to talks of truce
No weapons, one page only
Among the farmers of that shire was Malcolm Wallace
A commoner with his own lands
He had two sons, John and William
