Subject: Atholl Highlanders (Battlefield Band)
Heard this on a couple of their collections. A few of the lyrics (which as usual, are hard to transcribe; why do you think I need help? :) --

(The parentheses are my guesses on these words.)

Wha will ride wi' gallant Murray? Wha will ride wi' Geordie (Sell?) He's the flower of the (highlands?) And the darling of (Dungell?) See the white rose in his bonnet See his banner o'er the Tay (next two lines unintelligible)

And that's the chorus. Not sure where to go next and I also think there are other names for this song. Hope someone can help.
