The news from Moidart cam yestreen
Will soon gar mony ferlie
For ships o' war have just come in
And landed royal Chairlie

CHORUS:
Come through the heather, around him gaither
You're a' t' welcomer early
Around him cling wi' a' your kin
For wha'll be king but Chairlie
Come through the heather, around him gaither
Come Ronald, come Donald, come a' together
Declare him rightful, lawful king
For wha'll be king but Chairlie

The Highland clans wi' sword in hand
Fae John o' Groats to Airlie
Have tae a man declared to stand
Or fa' for royal Chairlie

CHORUS

The lowlands a' baith great and sma'
Wi many's the Lord and Laird
They declared for Scotias King and Law
Aye and wha dae ye think but Chairlie
CHORUS

There's ne'er a lass in a' the land
But vows baith late and early
Tae man she'll ne'er gie heart or han'
Wha wadna ficht for Chairlie

CHORUS

Then here's a health tae Chairlie's cause
An' be't complete and early
His very name oor heart's blood warms
To arms for royal Chairlie

CHORUS
