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;
