Welcome Royal Charlie |
The man that should our king hae been |
He wore the Royal red and green |
A bonnier lad ye never seen |
Than our young Royal Charlie |
When Charlie in the heilan' sheil |
Forgethered wi' the Great Lochiel |
Oh sic' a kindness did prevail |
'Tween the Chief and Charlie |
Charlie’s been too long awa' |
And the eagle waits for the bugle’s call |
But the spirit shines above us all |
For the right belongs to Charlie |
At Falkirk and Prestonpans |
Supported by the heilan' clans |
He brak the Hanoverian bands |
Did our young royal Charlie |
But we darenae brew a peck o' malt |
But Geordie he maun ca’t a fault |
And for our kale we scarce get salt |
For want of Royal Charlie |
Charlie’s been too long awa' |
And the eagle waits for the bugle’s call |
But the spirit shines above us all |
For the right belongs to Charlie |
Noo our Charlie’s gone awa' |
A doited German rules us all |
And we are forced against the law |
For want of Royal Charlie |
So Charlie come and lead the way |
For others here now hold the sway |
But every dog maun hae it’s day |
So welcome Royal Charlie |
Charlie’s been too long awa' |
And the eagle waits for the bugle’s call |
But the spirit shines above us all |
For the right belongs to Charlie |
