Wha wadna fecht for Charlie? Wha wadna draw the sword? Wha wadna up and rally At the royal Prince's word? Think on Scotia's ancient heroes, Think on foreign foes repell'd, Think on glorious Bruce and Wallace, Who the proud usurpers quelled; Wha wadna fecht for Charlie? Wha wadna draw the sword? Wha wadna up and rally At the royal Prince's word?

Rouse, rouse ye kilted warriors, Rouse heroes of the North! Rouse, join our chieftain's banners, 'Tis your Prince that leads you forth! Shall we basely crouch to tyrants? Shall we own a foreign sway? Shall a royal Stuart be banish'd, While a stranger rules the day? Wha wadna fecht . . . . See, Northern clans advancing, Glengarry and brave Lochiel: See brandished broadswords glancing! Highland hearts are true as steel. Now our Prince has raised his banner, Now triumphant is his cause, Now the Scottish lion rallies, Let us strike for Prince and laws! Wha wadna fecht . . . .
