Welcome, Royal Charlie

The Prince who should our king hae been
He wore the royal red and green
A bonnier lad was never seen
Than our brave Royal Charlie
Oh, you've been lang o' comin
Lang, lang, lang o' comin'
O ye've been lang o' comin'
Welcome Royal Charlie

Since our true king was sent awa
A doited German rules us all
And we are forced against the law
For the right belongs to Charlie
Oh, you've been lang o' comin
Lang, lang, lang o' comin'
O ye've been lang o' comin'
Welcome Royal Charlie

We darenae brew a peck o' malt
Or German Geordie finds a fault
And for our kale we scarce get salt
For the want of Royal Charlie
Oh, you've been lang o' comin
Lang, lang, lang o' comin'
O ye've been lang o' comin'
Welcome Royal Charlie

When Charlie in the heilan' sheil
Forgethered wi' the Great Lochiel
Oh what kindness did prevail
Atween the Chief and Charlie
Oh, you've been lang o' comin
Lang, lang, lang o' comin'
O ye've been lang o' comin'
Welcome Royal Charlie

At Falkirk and Prestonpans
Supported by our heilan' clans
We brak the Hanoverian bands
The right belongs to Charlie
Oh, you've been lang o' comin
Lang, lang, lang o' comin'
O ye've been lang o' comin'
Welcome Royal Charlie

The Prince who should our king hae been
He wore the royal red and green
A bonnier lad was never seen
Than our brave Royal Charlie
Oh, you've been lang o' comin
Lang, lang, lang o' comin'
O ye've been lang o' comin'
Welcome Royal Charlie
