  • Wha'll be King But Charlie by Alastair McDonald from the album "Bonnie Prince Charlie".
    "Wha'll Be King But Charlie", also known as "The News From Moidart", is a Scottish folk song about the Jacobite rising of 1745, written by Carolina Nairne in support of Charles Edward Stuart (also known as Bonnie Prince Charlie) some time in the late 1700s. It is sung to the tune of "The Tidy Woman", an Irish jig. Lyrics for this version below:
    The news fae Moidart cam yestreen
    Will soon gar mony ferlie
    For ships o war hae just come in
    And landed Royal Charlie
    Chorus:
    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 together
    And crown your rightfu lawfu King
    For wha'll be King but Charlie?
    The Hieland clans wi sword in hand
    Frae John o Groats tae Airlie
    Hae tae a man declared tae stand
    Or fa wi royal Charlie
    The Lowlands are baith great an sma
    Wi mony a lord an laird hae
    Declared for Scotia's King an Law
    An spier ye, wha but Charlie?
    There's ne'er a lass in a' the land
    But vows baith late and early
    She'll ne'er tae man gie heart or hand
    That wadna fecht for Charlie
    Sae here's a health tae Charlie's cause
    And be't complete and early
    His very name oor hert's bluid wairms
    Tae arms for Royal Charlie

      My Grandmother was a friend of a Mrs. Chisolm around the beginning of the start of the 20th century,and Mrs. Chisolm sewed for Mrs. Pershing before she ( Mrs. Pershing and her daughters perished in a horrible fire in the San Fransisco Presidio 1915.) The Chisolms were friends of my Fathers' folks,and my Father had married Helen Chisolm years later. Chisolms were a good bunch of folks. Who knows how many of us various folks are tied remotely or closely by marriage,or friendship.The centuries since the disbanding of the Highland Clans have been a big adventure as well.

    So proud to say my clan was loyal to His Highness, Prince Charlie! The Atholl Highlanders, made up of the great Clan Murray, came directly to the aid of Prince Charlie. Clan Campbell of Auchnabreck would've sided with the Jacobites, if not for Clan Campbell of Argyll. Anyone who has Jacobite blood should be proud when hearing this song! Our ancestors may have lost, but they'd have been damned if they didn't try.

      Why on earth would you be proud that distant ancestors of yours fought on the wrong side of a dynastic battle? What's to be proud of?
      This isn't "my grandfather who I knew in my lifetime landed at Normandy and helped defeat the Nazi menace" or something like that. You're literally saying that you're proud that someone who died centuries before you were born fought in a pointless war over which nobleman he'd never met would be king.

    I have ancestors from England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales who were recusants under the Penal and Uniformity Acts, fought on both sides of the Civil War, ancestors who fought on both sides of the Glorious Revolution, and on both sides of the Jacobite Revolution. I also have some German blood mixing.
    But at the end of the day I am myself an American. And I, also having ancestors who fought in the American Revolution and were prominent members of the early American Continent, am far more proud of them and what they fought for. I reject the divine right of kings, as nobody is born to rule or to reign. I am proud to be born of the first Nation to declare before a candid world that it be self-evident truth that all men are created and born equal by ordinance of the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God. They are endowed by the same, to the rights of life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, amongst other inalienable, inviolate, and absolute rights. That means men and women, black and white, rich and poor, gay and straight, young and old. To secure these rights, it was declared by the Fathers, that as these rights are inalienable and come from the Creator Himself, not from any king or earthy power or crown, Government receives its authority and powers from the consent of the governed and not by ordinances of the same Creator that made His people equal, free, and in control of their destiny and pursuit of their own happiness.
    God bless the mother lands of my forebears - the lands of Merry Ol' England - Dowry of Mary and Land of Hope and Glory, Alba (or Albany) - in times of old once known as Caledonia and Albion, of Cymru (or Wales) - the land of my fathers, and of Ireland's Emerald Isle
    O Great Britain, may God forever bless thee.
    And God bless my homeland- Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean- the Home of the Brave and the Free.
    Sweet land of Liberty, O set in the silver sea, Made by Thee and for Thee. Let us Manifest our Destiny. God bless us evermore.

    part of the arguments for the Jacobites was that the king they were fighting against were foreigners-first William the Dutch, then George the Hanoverian. which is supremely ironic now, given the Jacobite claim now traces itself to... Franz, Duke of Bavaria.
    which would also mean that Franz should've been the first openly gay monarch in British history...
