Can you hear the sound The sound of distant voices Floating gently 'cross the glen Can you see the people The people gathered round They're worshipping their king They came to hear the story They came to sing the song There's talk of a rebellion The highlands are aflame From the mountains to the sea A prince has come to Scotland To claim his rightful throne The seeds of war are sown They came to hear the story (*) They came to sing the song Let me hear, let me hear
Let me hear your battlecry Let me hear, let me hear Let me hear your battlecry An army marches northwards To meet the fearless clansmen For England and St George The red coats face the tartan The battle lines are drawn The musket and the sword (Repeat *) Many men have fallen The prince has had his day Culloden was the name Their battlecry can still be heard To this very day Floating gently 'cross the glen (Repeat *)
