✠ "Wha'll be King but Charlie?" also known as The News from Moidart, is a song about Bonnie Prince Charlie, sung to the tune of 'Tidy Woman', a traditional Irish jig the date of which is unclear but the tune was well known by 1745. The lyrics were written by Caroline Nairne (1766 – 1845).Because Nairne published anonymously, the authorship of this and her other poems and lyrics was once unclear, however, late in her life Nairne identified herself and modern scholars accept that these lyrics are hers. Carolina, Baroness Nairne was a Jacobite from a Jacobite family living at a time when the last remnants of political Jacobitism were fading as Scotland entered a period of Romantic nationalism and literary romanticism. Bonnie Prince Charlie stayed in the house where Caroline Nairne was born and reared when fleeing British capture after losing the Battle of Culloden. ✠
Lyrics:
Welcome to Scotland
Prince Charles Edwart Steuart
The news frae Moidart cam' yestreen
Will som gar mony ferlie
For ships o' war hae just come in
And landed Royal Charlie!
Come through the heather, around him gather
Ye're a' the welcomer early
Around him cling wi' a' your kin
For wha'll be King but Charlie?
Come through the heather, around him gather
Come, Ronald, come Donald, come a' the gither
And crown your rightfu' lawfu' King!
For wha'll be King, but Charlie?
The Highland clans, wi' sword in hand
Frae John o'Groats to Airlie
Ha'e to a man declar'd to stand
Or fa' wi' Royal Charlie!
Come through the heather, around him gather
Ye're a' the welcomer early
Around him cling wi' a' your kin
For wha'll be King but Charlie?
Come through the heather, around him gather
Come, Ronald, come Donald, come a' the gither
And crown your rightfu' lawfu' King!
For wha'll be King, but Charlie?
The Lowlands a' baith great and sma'
Wi' mony a lord and laird
Hae' declar'd for Scotland's king, and law
Spier ye what, but Charlie!
Come through the heather, around him gather
Ye're a' the welcomer early
Around him cling wi' a' your kin
For wha'll be King but Charlie?
Come through the heather, around him gather
Ye're a' the welcomer early
And crown your rightfu' lawfu' King!
For wha'll be King, but Charlie?
Then here's a health to Charlie's cause
An' be it complete an' early
His very name our heart's bluid warms
To arms for Royal Charlie!
Come through the heather, around him gather
Ye're a' the welcomer early
Around him cling wi' a' your kin
For wha'll be King but Charlie?
Come through the heather, around him gather
Ye're a' the welcomer early
And crown your rightfu' lawfu' King!
For wha'll be King, but Charlie?
For wha'll be King, but Charlie?
