[Chorus:]
The clans are marching 'gainst the law,
Bagpipers play the tunes of war.
Death or glory I will find,
Rebellion on my mind.
Rumours know that rebellion will break out,
Bonnie Prince Charles is in the highlands
To claim his crown no doubt.
He raised his Standard at Glenfinnen
Calling to our pride.
The Jacobites are gathering,
I'll be at their side.
Armed and ready stand,
My rights I must defend,
Steel is in my hand.
[Chorus:]
The clans are marching 'gainst the law,
Bagpipers play the tunes of war.
Death or glory I will find,
Rebellion on my mind.
The town of Edinburgh fell soon in our hands,
Defeated the English at the Battle of Prestonpans.
Armed and ready stand,
My rights I must defend
Steel is in my hand.
[Chorus:]
The clans are marching 'gainst the law,
Bagpipers play the tunes of war.
Death or glory I will find,
Rebellion on my mind.
