Welcome Charlie o'er the main/Welcome Charlie O'er The Main
WELCOME CHARLIE O'ER THE MAIN.
Arouse, arouse each kilted clan!
Let Highland hearts lead on the van,
And forward wi' their durks in han’
To fight for Royal Charlie.
Welcome Charlie o'er the main,
Our Highland hills are a' your ain,
Welcome to your Isle again;
O welcome Royal Charlie!
Auld Scotia's sons 'mong Highland hills,
Can nobly brave the face o’ ills,
For kindred fire ilk bosom fills,
At sight of Royal Charlie.
Welcome Charlie, &c.
The ancient thistle wags her pow,
And proudly waves o'er dale and knowe,
To hear the oath and sacred vow———
We'll live and die for Charlie.
Welcome Charlie, &c.
Rejoic'd to think nae foreign weed,
Shall trample on our kindred seed;
For weel she kens her sons will bleed,
Or fix his throne right fairly.
Welcome Charlie, &c.
Amang the wilds o' Caledon,
Breathes there a base degenerate son,
Wha would not to his standard run,
And rally round Prince Charlie?
Welcome Charlie, &c.
Then let the flowing quaich go round,
And loudly let the Pibroch sound,
Till every glen and rock resound
The name o’ Royal Charlie.
Welcome Charlie o’er the main.
Our Highland hills are a' your ain;
Welcome to your throne again,
O welcome Royal Charlie.
