Oh! our sodger lads looked braw, looked braw
Wi' their tartan kilts an' aw, an' aw
Wi' their bonnets an' feathers an' glitt'rin' gear
An' pibrochs sounding loud and clear
Will they aw return to their ain dear glen?
Will they aw return oor Heilan' men?
Second sichted Sandy looked fu' wae
An' mithers grat when they march'd away

Chorus

Oh! whaw is foremos o' aw, o' aw
Oh whaw is foremost o' aw, o' aw
Bonnie Charlie the King o' us aw, hurrah!
Wi' his hundred pipers an' aw, an ' aw
His bonnet and feathers he's waving high
His prancing steed maist seems to fly
The nor' win' plays wi' his curly hair
While the pipers play wi'an unco flare

Chorus

The Esk was swollen sae red an' sae deep
But shooder to shooder the brave lads keep
Twa thousand swam owre to fell English groond
An' danced themselves dry to the pibroch's soond
Dumfoun'er'd the English saw, they saw
Dumfoun'er'd they heard the blaw, the blaw
Dumfoun'er'd they aw ran awaw, awaw
Frae the hundred pipers an' aw, an ' aw

Chorus
