:"Wi' a hundred pipers, an' a', an' a',":"Wi' a hundred pipers, an' a', an' a',":"We'll up an' gie them a blaw, a blaw":"Wi' a hundred pipers, an' a', an' a'.":"O it's owre the border awa', awa"':"It's owre the border awa', awa"':"We'll on an' we'll march to Carlisle ha"':"Wi' its yetts, its castle an' a', an a'."

Chorus::"Wi' a hundred pipers, an' a', an' a',":"We'll up an' gie them a blaw, a blaw":"Wi' a hundred pipers, an' a', an' a'."

:"O! our sodger lads looked braw, looked braw,":"Wi' their tartan kilts an' a', an' a',":"Wi' their bonnets an' feathers an' glitt'rin' gear,":"An' pibrochs sounding loud and clear.":"Will they a' return to their ain dear glen?":"Will they a' return oor Heilan' men?":"Second sichted Sandy looked fu' wae.":"An' mithers grat when they march'd away.":"Wi' a hundred pipers, an' a', an' a',":"We'll up an' gie them a blaw, a blaw":"Wi' a hundred pipers, an' a', an' a'."

:"O! wha' is foremos o' a', o' a',":"Oh wha' is foremost o' a', o' a',":"Bonnie Charlie the King o' us a', hurrah!":"Wi' his hundred pipers an' a', an ' a'.":"His bonnet and feathers he's waving high,":"His prancing steed maist seems to fly,":"The nor' win' plays wi' his curly hair,":"While the pipers play wi'an unco flare.":"Wi' a hundred pipers, an' a', an' a',":"We'll up an' gie them a blaw, a blaw":"Wi' a hundred pipers, an' a', an' a'."

:"The Esk was swollen sae red an' sae deep,":"But shouther to shouther the brave lads keep;":"Twa thousand swam owre to fell English ground":"An' danced themselves dry to the pibroch's sound.":"Dumfoun'er'd the English saw, they saw,":"Dumfoun'er'd they heard the blaw, the blaw,":"Dumfoun'er'd they a' ran awa', awa',":"Frae the hundred pipers an' a', an' a'.":"Wi' a hundred pipers, an' a', an' a',":"We'll up an' gie them a blaw, a blaw":"Wi' a hundred pipers, an' a', an' a'."
