The flags are fleeing fu' rarely,
The flags are fleeing fu' rarely,
And Charlie's awa' to see his ain ha',
And to bang his faes right sairly.
Then, wha's for Scotland and Charlie ?
O, wha's for Scotland and Charlie ?
He's come o'er the sea to his ain countrie,
Now wha's for Scotland and Charlie ?
This song, in honour of Prince Charles, commonly called the Pretender, ridicules the
idea of the King of Hanover continuing'to occupy the throne of Great Britain, to which
the author considered he had no legal right or title. He is spoken of as the " auld carlie,"
a term of reproach in Scotland.
