Now By The Roses Of Prince Charlie....HomepageA Scottish song you can hear and join in - at the Saturday night ceilidh in the Lade Inn - Kilmahog near Callander, Scotland

Come now, gather now, here where theflowers grow
White is the blossom as the snow on the Ben
Here now freedom's call we'll make a solemn vow
Now by the roses of prince Chairlie


  1. Fight again at Bannockburn, your battleaxe to wield
    Fight wi’ your grandsires, on Florence bloody field
    Fight at Culloden, the bonnie prince to shield
    Fight by the roses of prince Chairlie
    Come now, gather now, here where theflowers grow
    White is the blossom as the snow on the Ben
    Here now freedom's call we'll make a solemn vow
    Now by the roses of prince Chairlie

  2. Spirits o' the banished, in far and distant lands
    Carved out a new world, wi' sweat blood and hands
    Return now in glory, and on the silver sand
    Fight by the roses of prince Chairlie
    Come now, gather now, here where theflowers grow
    White is the blossom as the snow on the Ben
    Here now freedom's call we'll make a solemn vow
    Now by the roses of prince Chairlie

  3. Tak' ye strength by the green fields, that blanket peats and coal
    Ships frae the Clyde, have a nation in their hold
    The water o' life, some men need to make them bold
    Black gold and fishes and fishes frae the sea man
    Come now, gather now, here where theflowers grow
    White is the blossom as the snow on the Ben
    Here now freedom's call we'll make a solemn vow
    Now by the roses of prince Chairlie
