Welcome Royal Cherlie/Campbell’s Farewell To Redcastle Lyrics by Tannahill Weavers

The Mermaid’s Song

0

The prince who should our king ha'e been
He wore the royal red and green
A bonnier lad was never seen
Than our brave royal Cherlie
Oh and ye were lang a comin'
Lang, lang, lang a comin'
Oh and ye were lang a comin'
Welcome royal Cherlie
Since our true king was sent awa'
A dighty German rules us a'
And we are forced against the law
For the right belongs tae Cherlie
Oh and ye were lang a comin'
Lang, lang, lang a comin'
Oh and ye were lang a comin'
Welcome royal Cherlie
We daurnae brew a peck o' maut
Or German Geordie finds a faut
And for our kail we've scarce got saut
For want o' royal Cherlie
Oh and ye were lang a comin'
Lang, lang, lang a comin'
Oh and ye were lang a comin'
Welcome royal Cherlie
When Cherlie in the hielan' shiel
Was gathered by the great Lochiel
Oh what kindness did prevail
Between the chief and Cherlie
Oh and ye were lang a comin'
Lang, lang, lang a comin'
Oh and ye were lang a comin'
Welcome royal Cherlie
At Falkirk and at Prestonpans
Supported by the hieland clans
We broke the Hanoverian bands
The right belongs tae Cherlie
Oh and ye were lang a comin'
Lang, lang, lang a comin'
Oh and ye were lang a comin'
Welcome royal Cherlie
