Lyrics:
The standard on the Braes o' Mar
Is up and streaming rarely
The gathering pipe on Lochnagar
Is sounding loud and sairly
The Hieland men frae hill and glen
Wi' belted plaids and glittering blades
Wi' bonnets blue and hearts sae true
Are coming late and early
Oor Prince has made a noble vow
Tae free his country fairly
Wha wid be a traitor noo
Tae ane we loo sae dearly?
We'll go, we'll go and seek the foe
By land or sea, where e'er they be
And man tae man and in the van
We'll win or die wi' Cherlie
I saw oor Prince come o'er the hill
Wi' Drummond and Glengarry
And through the pass came brave Locheil
Panmure and gallant Murray
MacDonald's men, Clanranald's men
MacKenzie's men, MacGilivery's men
Strathallen's men, the Lowland's men
Callander and Airlie
Oor Prince has made a noble vow
Tae free his country fairly
Wha wid be a traitor noo
Tae ane we loo sae dearly?
We'll go, we'll go and seek the foe
On land or sea, where e'er they be
And man tae man and in the van
We'll win or die wi' Cherlie
The standard on the Braes o' Mar
Is up and streaming rarely
The gathering pipe on Lochnagar
Is sounding loud and sairly
The Hieland men frae hill and glen
Wi' belted plaids and glittering blades
Wi' bonnets blue and hearts sae true
Are coming late and early
The Hieland men frae hill and glen
Wi' belted plaids and glittering blades
Wi' bonnets blue and hearts sae true
We'll win or die wi' Cherlie
