Folkie Frank Lyr/Chords Req: Welcome, Royal Charlie (13) RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Welcome, Royal Charlie 21 Nov 19


Okay folks, so I'm 19 years late to the party.

I just happened to be Chord Tabbing the Archie Fisher version of this song 'Welcome, Royal Charlie'. It is very similar to the version by The Tannahill Weavers, but differs from all the other versions posted on this thread.

Archie Fisher version:

[Verse]
The prince who should our king ha'e been
He wore the royal red and green
A bonnier lad was never seen
Than our brave royal Charlie

[Chorus]
Ohh, ye've bin lang a comin'
Lang, lang, lang a comin'
Ohh, ye've bin lang a comin'
Welcome royal Charlie

[Verse]
Since our true king was sent awa'
A dighty German rules us a'
And we are forced against the law
For the rights belong tae Charlie

[Chorus]

[Verse]
We daurnae brew a peck o' maut
Or German Geordie finds a faut
And for our kail we've scarce got saut
For want o' royal Charlie

[Chorus]

[Verse]
When Charlie in the Hielan' shiel
Were gaithered wi' the great Lochiel
Oh, what kindness did prevail
Between the chief and Charlie

[Chorus]

[Verse]
At Falkirk and at Prestonpans
Supported by oor Hieland clans
We broke the Hanoverian bands
The rights belong tae Charlie

[Chorus]

[Verse]
For the prince who should our king ha'e been
He wore the royal red and green
A bonnier lad was never seen
Than our brave royal Charlie

[Chorus]
