The Corries - Welcome Royal Charlie lyrics

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
