Sound the pibroch loud and high, Frae John o' Groats to Isle o' Skye, Let a' the clans their slogan cry – Rise and follow Charlie. CHORUS: Tha tighin fodham, fodham, fodham (x3) Rise and follow Charlie 2. See the small devoted band, By dark Loch Shiel have ta'en their stand, And proudly vow with heart and hand To fight for Royal Charlie. 3. Frae every hill and every glen Are gathering fast the loyal men, They grasp their dirks and shout again "Hurrah for Royal Charlie!" 4. On dark Culloden's field of gore, Hark, hark they shout, "Claymore, claymore!" They bravely fight, what can they more? They die for Royal Charlie. 5. No more we'll see such deeds again, Deserted is each Highland glen, And lonely cairns are o'er the men Who fought and died for Charlie. Let me know if this was what you were looking for. You can hear it on the Corries album called "Sound the Pibroch". Anne Makem Brothers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl80XcnGXSA |

Could this be the one you seek? |
