Wae's Me For Prince Charlie - Scottish Jacobite Ballad 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hi! :)
This is a sweet song that I learned from the recordings of the great Ewan MacColl.
Here I sing only the first two verses of the poem.
Despite the sweetness of the melody, this particular traditional song (written at the beginning of the 19th century by the Glasgow poet William Glen) is a song of Scottish rebellion against the English invaders and in honor of Bonnie Prince Charlie (the most famous, committed leader and pretender of the Jacobite cause in Scotland sent into exile after the defeat at the Battle of Culloden).
Here's the lyrics:
A wee bird came tae our ha' door,
he warbled sweet and early,
and aye the outcome o' his lilt
was "Wae's me for Prince Cherlie."
Oh when I heard the bonnie, bonnie bird,
the tears came drappin' rarely.
I took my bonnet off my heid,
for weel I loved Prince Cherlie.
Said I, "My bird, my bonnie, bonnie bird,
"Is that a tale ye borrow,
"Or is't some word ye've learned by rote,
"Or a lilt, or d'you lend sorrow?"
"Oh, no no no" the wee bird sang,
"I've flown sin' mornin' early,
"but sic a day o' wind and rain,
"Oh Wae's me for Prince Cherlie."
Hope you like this wee song!
Bye!
