''Wi’ a hundred pipers, an’ a’, an’ a’,'' ''Wi’ a hundred pipers, an’ a’, an’ a’,'' ''We’ll up an’ gie them a blaw, a blaw,'' ''Wi’ a hundred pipers, an’ a’, an’ a’!'' O it’s owre the Border awa’, awa’ It’s owre the Border awa’, awa’ We’ll on an’ we’ll march to Carlisle ha’ Wi’ its yetts, its castle an’ a’, an a’. O! our sodger lads looked braw, looked braw, Wi’ their tartan kilts an’ a’, an’ a’, Wi’ their bonnets an’ feathers an’ glitt’rin’ gear, An’ pibrochs soundin’ loud and clear. Will they a’ return to their ain dear glen? Will they a’ return oor Heilan’ men? Second sichted Sandy looked fu’ wae, An’ mithers grat when they march’d away. O! wha’ is foremos o’ a’, o’ a’, O! wha’ does follow the blaw, the blaw? Bonnie Charlie the Prince o’ us a’, hurrah! Wi’ his hundred pipers an’ a’, an ‘ a’. His bonnet and feather he’s wavin’ high, His prancin’ steed maist seems to fly; The nor’ win’ sweeps thro’ his curly hair, An’ the pibrochs blaw wi’ an unco flare. The Esk was swollen sae red an’ sae deep, But shouther to shouther the brave lads keep; Twa thousand swam owre to fell English ground An’ danced themselves dry to the pibroch’s sound. Dumfoun’er’d the English saw, they saw, Dumfoun’er’d they heard the blaw, the blaw, Dumfoun’er’d they a’ ran awa’, awa’, Frae the hundred pipers an’ a’, an’ a’.
