The splendid victories of the Scottish Highland clans With Bonnie Prince leading them Falkirk and Prestonpans Now battle weary No food or drink at hand Three months of slow retreat Had weakened the battle plan Woah woah The English army led by General Cumberland Marched after the Jacobites with his best 8,000 men Now close behind them The sentries spied their foe Last time to stop retreat And go in to battle so Oh oh Culloden Oh oh Culloden So they planned to attack the Redcoats based 8 miles away They arranged departure for 7 pm that day But the plan was discovered So they retreated as before Throwing themselves onto the ground Exhausted, weak, and sore Woah, woah Nay forget Yet old wounds heal But everybody sings And everybody feels Oh oh Culloden Oh oh Culloden Outgunned, outnumbered, they dug in along the moor No sleep or sustenance, then came the battle call No way of victory No way to win the war They charged into history With honor they did fall Oh oh Culloden Oh oh Culloden
