In May the British army was summoned by their King
And sent towards the continent to fight against the French
Finding defeat at The Battle of Fontenoy

They're killed by the thousands

Bonnie Prince then took his chances

Leading the Jacobite Rising
Marching with his men straight down
To the Lowland's Fields


Trying to stop this rebellion
John Cope went to Fort Augustus

But he failed in the intention
Of persuading the Highlanders


Armies march in Prestopans
Stuart and Murray lead the Clans
Pipes and war cries guide the steps

Waiting for the Highland Charge

Armies fight in Prestonpans

For the glory, for the pride
Pipes and war cries sounding loud
All over the battleground


Edinburgh town now belongs to Charles
Brave son of James Francis Edward Stuart

In his hands the crown will shine
Supported by the Clans
By the Firth of Forth, Charlie took his throne


Armies march in Prestonpans
Stuart and Murray lead the Clans

Pipes and war cries guide the steps
Waiting for the Highland Charge


Armies fight in Prestonpans
For the glory, for the pride
Pipes and war cries sounding loud

All over the battleground
