Wha Wadna' Fecht For Charlie?
Words:
Traditional A better-known version of this melody was used for the
children's song Wha Saw The 42nd?. Melody:
Traditional
Chorus:
Wha wadna' fecht for Cherlie?
Wha wadna' draw the sword?
Wha wad nae up an' rally
At the royal Prince's word?
Think on Scotland's ancient heroes
Think on foreign foes to fell
Think on glorious gruesome Wallace
Wha the proud usurpers quelled!
Chorus
Rouse ye rows o' kilted warriors
Rouse ye heroes o' the North
Rouse and join your chieftains' banners
'Tis your prince that leads you forth!
Chorus
See the northern Clans advancing
See Glengarrie and Montiel
See the brandished broadswords glancing
Highland hats of cruel steel
Chorus
Know our Prince has raised his banner
Know triumphant is our cause
Know the Scottish Lion rallies
Let us fight for Prince and laws!
Chorus
A moth-eaten rag, on a worm-eaten pole,
It does not look likely to stir a man's sole,
'Tis the deeds that were done 'neath the moth-eaten rag,
When the pole was a staff, and the rag was a flag.
