Can you hear the sound
 The sound of distant voices
 Floating gently 'cross the glen
 Can you see the people
 The people gathered 'round
 They're worshipping their king 

 They came to hear the story
 They came to sing the song 

 There's talk of a rebellion
 The highlands are aflame 
 From the mountains to the sea
 prince [bad word] to Scotland
 To claim his rightful throne
 The seeds of war are sown 
 They came to hear the story
 They came to sing the song 

 Let me hear
 Let me hear
 Let me hear your battlecry 

 Let me hear
 Let me hear
 Let me hear your battlecry 

 An army marches northwards
 To meet the fearless clansmen
 For England and St. George
 The red coats face the tartan
 The battle lines are drawn
 The musket and the sword 

 They came to hear the story
 They came to sing the song 

 Let me hear
 Let me hear
 Let me hear your battlecry 

 Let me hear
 Let me hear
 Let me hear your battlecry 

 Many men have fallen
 The prince has had his day
 Culloden was the name
 Their battlecry can still be heard
 To this very day
 Floating gently 'cross the glen 

 They came to hear the story
 They came to sing the song 

 Let me hear
 Let me hear
 Let me hear your battlecry
