Now, Donald, Duncan's ready !
Within his hand he grasps his brand;
Fierce is the fray, the field is bloody 1
But lang shall Scotland rue the day,
She saw her flag sae fiercely flying ;
Culloden's hills were hills o' wae ;
Her honour lost, her wamors dying.
Duncan now nae mair is ready !

The brand is fa'en fi-ae out his han',
His bonnet blue lies stain'd and bluidy 1

The midnight dews fa' on her cheek ;
What hand shall dry her tears o' mourniu' ?
Duncan now nae mair is ready ! &c.
