Subject: Lyr/Tune Add: WHA WADNA FIGHT FOR CHARLIE?
From: Bruce O.

[From Hogg's 'Jacobite Relics', II, 1821]

Wha wadna fight for Charlie.

Wha wadna fight for Charlie?
Wha wadna draw the sword?
Wha wadna up and rally,
At their royal prince's word?
Think on Scotia's ancient heroes,
Think on foreign foes repell'd,
Think on glorius Bruce and Wallace,
Wha the proud usurpers quell'd.

Wha wadna, &c.
Rouse, rouse, ye kilted warriors!
Rouse ye heroes of the north!
Rouse, and join your chieftan's banners,
'Tis your prince that leads you forth!


Wha wadna, &c.
Shall we basely crouch to tyrants?
Shall we own a foreigh sway?
Shall a royal Stuart be banish'd,
While a stranger rules the day?

Wha wadna, &c.
See the northern clans advancing!
See Glengary and Lochiel!
See the brandish'd broad swords glancing!
Highland hearts are true as steel.

Wha wadna, &c.
Now our prince has rear'd his banner;
Now triumphant is our cause;
Now the Scottish lion rallies;
Let us strike for prince and laws.
