    Cam ye by Atholl lad wi' the philabeg
    Down by the Tummel or banks o' the Garry?
    Saw ye the lads wi' their bonnets and white cockades
    Down from their mountains to follow Prince Charlie

    Follow ye, follow ye, whae wadnae follow ye?
    Lang hae ye loved us and trusted us fairly
    Charlie, Charlie, whae wadnae follow ye
    King o' the hieland hearts, Bonnie Prince Charlie

    I have but one son my gallant young Donald
    But had I ten, they would follow Prince Charlie
    Health to McDonald and gallant Clan Ronald
    These are the men I can trust wi' my Charlie

    Follow ye, follow ye, whae wadnae follow ye?
    Lang hae ye loved us and trusted us fairly
    Charlie, Charlie, whae wadnae follow ye
    King o' the hieland hearts, Bonnie Prince Charlie

    I'll go to Lochiel and Appin and kneel to them
    Down by Lord Murray and Roy o' Kildarlie
    Brave McIntosh he will fly to the field wi' them
    These are the men that would die for their Charlie

    Follow ye, follow ye, whae wadnae follow ye?
    Lang hae ye loved us and trusted us fairly
    Charlie, Charlie, whae wadnae follow ye
    King o' the hieland hearts, Bonnie Prince Charlie

    Down through the lowlands, down wi' the Whigamore
    Loyal true higlanders down wi' them rarely
    Ronald and Donald drive on wi' the broad claymore
    Over the necks of the foes o' Prince Charlie

    Follow ye, follow ye, whae wadnae follow ye?
    Lang hae ye loved us and trusted us fairly
    Charlie, Charlie, whae wadnae follow ye
    King o' the hieland hearts, Bonnie Prince Charlie
