King Fareweel lyrics

For ye've feather beds an carpet rooms -

Could ye no pit doon a wee German lairdie?

For a better Prince sure than ever he was

Lay amangst the heather wi the kilt and plaidie

Refrain: King fareweel, noo fareweel

It's a' to gaird our king, fareweel

It was on Prestonpans where we drew our plans

Where the Heilan' lads were lyin ready

An wi the wind o the sky we sure made them fly

Wi every shake that we gien our plaidie

Aye, it was on Prestonpans where we drew our plans

Where many's a braw lad lost his daddy

Where wi the wind o the sky we made them fly

Wi every shake that we gien our plaidie
