From the recording OUR SONGS
Lyrics
The tacksman came to my house one day
Bonnie Charlies landed in Glenfinnan Bay
I got the Blues, I got the Blues
Bonnie Charlie's landed this day
I got the Jacobite Blues
We marched to the south down to Derbytown
The Chiefs had a meeting we gotta turn around
I got the Blues, I got the Blues
The Chiefs had a meeting
They got he Jacobite Blues
We met the bloody British on Culloden Moor
The Duke of Cumberland he made his cannon roar
We got the Blues, we got the Blues
He made those cannons roar
We got the Jacobite Blues
The Prince went into hiding passed from Clan to Clan
Now they're looking for him all over this land
He got the Blues he got the Blues
Looking o'er this land
He's got the jacobite Blues
The Prince made his escape went back to France
That leaves us to do the death dance
We got the Blues We got the Blues
We're still paying for it this day
We got the Jacobite Blues
