 O ye’ve been lang o’ coming,

Lang lang lang o’ coming,

O ye’ve been lang o’ coming,

Welcome royal Charlie.

When Charlie in the Highland shiel,

Forgatherit wi’ the great Lochiel,

O sic kindness did prevail,

Atween the chief and Charlie!

O ye’ve been, &c,

But at Fa'kirk and Prestonpans,

Supported by our Highland clans,

He brake the Hanoverian bands,

Our brave young royal Charlie.

O ye’ve been, &c.

We daurna brew a peck o‘ maut,

Sut Geordie he mun ca't a fau‘t,

And to our kail we scarce get saut.

For want o‘ royal Charlie.

O ye've been, &c.

Since our true king was turned awa,

A doited German rules us a'

And we are forced against the law,

for the right belangs to Charlie.

O ye've been, &c.

Since our true king abroad has gone,

Ther‘s nought but Whelps sit on his throne,
