THE CHIEFS STAND AROUND –WATCHERS GUARD THE HILLSIDES,
THE BANNER IS RAISED---THE PRINCE LEADS US ALL.

BRAVE LOYAL MEN –ANSWER THE CALL.

FOOD SERVED WITH SMILES- FOR THE BONNIE PRINCE,
GRANDMOTHERS WEEP – THEY KNOW WAR IS COMING,
FOR MANY OF THE YOUNG – WHO NEVER WILL RETURN.

ALL AROUND THE HIGHLANDS – THE CLANS THEY DO GATHER,
GREVANCES FORGOT – AS ALL DO UNITE,
NOW IS THE TIME – TO ALL MARCH TOGETHER,
THE WORDS CRY OUT - FREEDOM FOR US ALL.

VERSE 6

THE PRINCE STANDS PROUD – AT THE FRONT OF HIS ARMY.
AND ADMIRES THE BRAVE- WHO ARE READY TO MARCH.
HE RAISES HIS ARM – FORWARDS -FORWARDS!
THE NEWS RACES SOUTH – THE REBELLION HAS BEGUN.
