WHA WADNA FIGHT FOR CHARLIE.

Wha wadna fight for Charlie?
Wha wadna draw the sword?
Wha wadna up and rally
At the Royal Prince's word?

Think on Scotland's ancient heroes,
Think on foreign foes repell’d,
Think on glorious Bruce and Wallace,
Wha the proud usurper quell’d.
Then wha wadna fight, &c.

See the northern clans advancing,
See Glengarry and Lochiel,
See the brandish'd broadswords glancing,
Highland hearts are true as steel.
Now our Prince has rais'd his banner,
Now triumphant is our cause,
Now the Scottish Lion rallies,
Let us strike for Prince and laws.
Then wha wadna fight, &c.
