I'm looking for the words to a song entitled Aiken Drum, but not the childrens song. This is a Jacobite song, about chasing whigs across the land "with cannon and claymore" and such like. If any one can help...

and this:

It's a great site with a lot of tunes and sheet music.

Found this with no explanation of the notation. Also not sure if it is the childrens version or not.
