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
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
