Chapter CL: Cam’ Ye by Athol?
Cam’ ye by Athol, lad wi’ the philabeg,
Down by the Tummel, or banks of the Garry?
Saw ye the lads wi’ their bonnets an’ white cockades,
Leaving their mountains to follow Prince Charlie?
_Follow thee, follow thee, wha wadna follow thee?
Lang hast thou lo’ed an’ trusted us fairly!
Charlie, Charlie, wha wadna follow thee?
King o’ the Highland hearts, bonnie Prince Charlie!_
I hae but ae son, my gallant young Donald;
But if I had ten they should follow Glengarry;
Health to Macdonald an’ gallant Clanronald,
These are the men that will die for their Charlie!
I’ll to Lochiel an’ Appin, an’ kneel to them;
Down by Lord Murray an’ Roy o’ Kildarlie;
Brave Macintosh, he shall fly to the fiel’ wi’ them;
These are the lads I can trust wi’ my Charlie.
Down thro’ the Lowlands, down wi’ the Whigamore,
Loyal true Highlanders, down wi’ them rarely;
Ronald an’ Donald drive on wi’ the braid claymore,
Over the necks o’ the foes o’ Prince Charlie!
_Follow thee, follow thee, wha wadna follow thee?
Lang hast thou lo’ed an’ trusted us fairly!
Charlie, Charlie, wha wadna follow thee?
King o’ the Highland hearts, bonnie Prince Charlie!_
