JACOBITE “AULD LANG SYNE.” — LOCHIEL'S REGIMENT, 1747

Andrew Lang

Though now we take King Lewie's fee And drink King Lewie's wine, We'll bring the King frae ower the sea, As in auld lang syne.

For, he that did proud Pharaoh crush, And save auld Jacob's line, Will speak to Charlie in the Bush, Like Moses, lang syne.

For oft we've garred the red coats run, Frae Garry to the Rhine, Frae Bauge brig to Falkirk moor, No that lang syne.

The Duke may with the Devil drink, And wi’ the deil may dine, But Charlie's dine in Holyrood, As in auld lang syne.

For he who did proud Pharaoh crush, To save auld Jacob's line, Shall speak to Charlie in the Bush, Like Moses, lang syne.
