Roses of Prince Charlie Songtext
von The Irish Rovers

Come now, gather now, here where the flowers grow
White is the blossom as the snow on the ben
Here now freedom′s call we'll make a solemn vow
Now by the roses of Prince Charlie
Fight again at Bannockburn, your battleaxe to wield
Fight wi′ your grandsires, on
Flodden's bloody field
Fight at Culloden, the bonnie prince to shield Fight by the roses of Prince Charlie
Come now, gather now, here where the flowers grow
White is the blossom as the snow on the ben
Here now freedom's call we′ll make a solemn vow
Now by the roses of Prince Charlie
Spirits o′ the banished, in far and distant lands
Carved out a new world, wi' sweat blood and hands
Return now in glory, and on the silver sand
Fight by the roses of Prince Charlie


Come now, gather now, here where the flowers grow
White is the blossom as the snow on the ben
Here now freedom′s call we'll make a solemn vow
Now by the roses of Prince Charlie
Tak′ ye strength by the green fields, that blanket peats and coal
Ships frae the Clyde, have a nation in their hold
The Water o' Life, some men need tae make them bold
Black gold and fishes frae the sea, man
Come now, gather now, here where the flowers grow
White is the blossom as the snow on the ben
Here now freedom′s call we'll make a solemn vow
Now by the roses of Prince Charlie
Come now, gather now, here where the flowers grow
White is the blossom as the snow on the ben
Here now freedom's call we′ll make a solemn vow
Now by the roses of Prince Charlie
