Lyrics

The news from Moidart cam yestreen
 Will soon gar mony ferlie
 For ships o war hae just come in
 And landed Royal Charlie
 Come through the heather, around him gather
 Ye're all the welcomer early
 Around him cling with a your kin
 For wha'll be King but Charlie?
 Come through the heather, around him gather
 Come Ronald, come Donald, come a thegither
 And crown your rightfu lawfu King
 For wha'll be King but Charlie?
 The Highland clans with sword in hand
 Frae John o Groats tae Airlie
 Hae tae a man declared to stand
 Or fa wi Royal Charlie
 Come through the heather, around him gather
 Ye're all the welcomer early
 Around him cling with a your kin
 For wha'll be King but Charlie?
 Come through the heather, around him gather
 Come Ronald, come Donald, come a thegither
 And crown your rightfu lawfu King
 For wha'll be King but Charlie?
 Our lowlands are baith great and small
 When many's a Lord and laird
 He declared for Scotia's King and all
 And spier ye wha, but Charlie
 Come through the heather, around him gather
 Ye're all the welcomer early
 Around him cling with a your kin
 For wha'll be King but Charlie?
 Come through the heather, around him gather
 Come Ronald, come Donald, come a thegither
 And crown your rightfu lawfu King
 For wha'll be King but Charlie?
 There's nair a lass in a' the land
 But vows baith late and early
 To man, she'll ne'er gie heart or han'
 Wha wadna fecht fer Charlie
 Come through the heather, around him gather
 Ye're all the welcomer early
 Around him cling with a your kin
 For wha'll be King but Charlie?
 Come through the heather, around him gather
 Come Ronald, come Donald, come a thegither
 And crown your rightfu lawfu King
 For wha'll be King but Charlie?
 And here's a health tae Chairlie's cause
 An' be't complete and early
 His very name oor heart's blood warms
 Tae arms for Royal Charlie
 Come through the heather, around him gather
 Ye're all the welcomer early
 Around him cling with a your kin
 For wha'll be King but Charlie?
 Come through the heather, around him gather
 Come Ronald, come Donald, come a thegither
 And crown your rightfu lawfu King
 For wha'll be King but Charlie?
 Wha'll be King but Charlie?
