O ye’ve been lang o’ coming,
Lang lang lang o’ coming,
O ye’ve been lang o’ coming,
Welcome royal Charlie.
When Charlie in the Highland shiel,
Forgatherit wi’ the great Lochiel,
O sic kindness did prevail,
Atween the chief and Charlie!
O ye’ve been, &c,
But at Fa'kirk and Prestonpans,
Supported by our Highland clans,
He brake the Hanoverian bands,
Our brave young royal Charlie.
O ye’ve been, &c.
We daurna brew a peck o‘ maut,
Sut Geordie he mun ca't a fau‘t,
And to our kail we scarce get saut.
For want o‘ royal Charlie.
O ye've been, &c.
Since our true king was turned awa,
A doited German rules us a'
And we are forced against the law,
for the right belangs to Charlie.
O ye've been, &c.
Since our true king abroad has gone,
Ther‘s nought but Whelps sit on his throne,
