Page:Bonny Prince Charlie's song book.pdf/4

 Down through the Lowlands, down with the whigamore
 * Loyal true Highlanders, down with it rarely;

Ronald and Donald drive on wi' the braid clamore,
 * Over the necks of the foes of Prince Charlie.

Follow thee, follow thee, wha wadna follow thee?
 * Lang hast thou lo'ed and trusted us fairly,

Charlie, Charlie, wha wadna follow thee?
 * King of thothe [sic] Highland hearts, bonnie Prince Charlie

man that should our King ha'e been, He wore the royal red and green, A braver lad ye wadna seen,
 * Than our young Royal Charlie.


 * O ye've been lang a coming,
 * Lang, lang, lang a coming,
 * O ye've been lang a coming,
 * Welcome, Royal Charlie.

When Charlie, in the Highland shiel, Forgather'd wi' tho great Lochiel, O sic kindness did prevail
 * Atween the Chief and Charlie.
 * O ye've been lang a coming, &c.

But at Falkirk and Preston Pans, Supported by our Highland Clans, He brak the Hauoverian bands,
 * Our brave young Royal Charlie.
 * O ye've been lang a coming, &c.

We daurna brew a peck o' maut, But Geordie be maun fin' a faut, An' to our kail we scarce get saut,
 * For want o' Royal Charlie.
 * O ye've been lang a coming, &c.
