From the Andy M. Stewart Collection, p. 89:
Gallant Murray
Wha will ride wi' gallant Murray?
Wha will ride wi' Geordie's sel'?
he's the floow'r o' a' Glenisla'
And the darlin' o' Dunkel'.
See the white rose in his bonnet!
See his banner o'er the Tay!
His gude sword' he now has drawn it,
And has flung the sheath away.
Every faithful Murray follows;
First of heroes! best of men!
Every true and trusty Stewart
Blythely leaves his native glen.
Athole lads are lads of honour,
Westland rogues are rebels a';
When we come within their border,
We may gar the Campbell's claw.
Chorus: Wha will ride etc.
Menzies, he's our friend and brother;
Gask and Strowan are nae slack!
Noble Perth has ta'en the field,
And a' the Drummonds at his back.
Let us ride wi' gallant Murray,
Let us fight for Charlie's crown;
From the right we'll never sinder
Till we bring the tyrants down.
Chorus:
Mackintosh, the gallant soldier
Wi' the Grahams and Gordons gay,
They have ta'en the field of honour,
Spite of all their chiefs could say.
Point the musket bend the rapier,
Shfit the brog for lowland shoe,
Scour the durk, and face the danger,
Mackintosh has all to do.
Chorus:
