Skiltron - Prestonpans 1745 lyrics

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 k**ed 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
