Will soon gar mony ferlie
For ships o' war hae just come in
And landed royal chairlie
Come through the heather around him gather
You're a' the welcomer early
Around him cling wi' a' your kin'
For wha'll be king but chairlie
The highland clan wi' sword in hand
Frae John o' groats to airlie
Hae to a man declared to stand
Or fa' wi' royal chairlie
Come through the heather around him gather
You're a' the welcomer early
Around him cling wi' a' your kin'
For wha'll be king but chairlie
The lowlands a' baith great and sma'
Wi many's the Lord and Laird
They declared for Scotias King and Law
Aye and wha dae ye think but Chairlie
Come through the heather around him gather
You're a' the welcomer early
Around him cling wi' a' your kin'
For wha'll be king but chairlie
There's no a lass in a' the land
But vows baith late and early
To man she'll ne'er gie heart or han'
Wha wadna fight for chairlie
Come through the heather around him gather
You're a' the welcomer early
Around him cling wi' a' your kin'
For wha'll be king but chairlie
Then here's a health tae chairlie's 'cause
An' be't complete and early
His very name our heart's blood warms
To arms for royal chairlie
Come through the heather around him gather
You're a' the welcomer early
Around him cling wi' a' your kin
For wha'll be king but chairlie
Come through the heather around him gather
Come ronald come donald come a' th' gethir
And crown him rightful lawful king
For wha'll be king but chairlie
