"Roses Of Prince Charlie" lyrics

"Roses Of Prince Charlie"

Come now, gather now, here where the flowers grow
White is the blossom as the snow on the ben
Here now freedom's call we'll make a solemn vow
Now by the roses of Prince Charlie

Fight again at Bannockburn, your battleaxe to wield
Fight wi' your grandsires, on Flodden's bloody field
Fight at Culloden, the bonnie prince to shield
Fight by the roses of Prince Charlie

Come now, gather now, here where the flowers grow
White is the blossom as the snow on the ben
Here now freedom's call we'll make a solemn vow
Now by the roses of Prince Charlie

Spirits o' the banished, in far and distant lands
Carved out a new world, wi' sweat blood and hands
Return now in glory, and on the silver sand
Fight by the roses of Prince Charlie

Come now, gather now, here where the flowers grow
White is the blossom as the snow on the ben
Here now freedom's call we'll make a solemn vow
Now by the roses of Prince Charlie

Tak' ye strength by the green fields, that blanket peats and coal
Ships frae the Clyde, have a nation in their hold
The Water o' Life, some men need tae make them bold
Black gold and fishes frae the sea, man

Come now, gather now, here where the flowers grow
White is the blossom as the snow on the ben
Here now freedom's call we'll make a solemn vow
Now by the roses of Prince Charlie

Come now, gather now, here where the flowers grow
White is the blossom as the snow on the ben
Here now freedom's call we'll make a solemn vow
Now by the roses of Prince Charlie
