ROYAL CHARLIE.
When France had her assistance lent,
Oar darling prince to us she sent,
Towards the north his course he bent,
His name was Royal Charlie.
But O, he was lang o’ coming,
O, he was lang o’ coming,
O, he was king o‘ coming;—
Welcome Royal Charle.
When he upon the shore did stand,
The friends he had within the land
Came down and shook him by the hand,
And welcomed Royal Chalie.
O, ye’ve ben lang o’ coming, &c.
The dress that our Prince Charlie had
Was bonnet blue and tartan plaid;
And O he was a handsome lad!
Few could compare w’ Charlie.
But O, he was lang o‘ coming, &c.
