1 Loud the winds howl, Loud the waves roar, thun - der claps rend the air,_
2 Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep, Ocean's a royal bed;
3 Many's the lad fought on that day, Well the claymore could wield
4 Burned are our homes, exile and death Scat - ter the loyal men;

1 Baf - fled our foes stand on the shore, Fol - low they will not dare,_
2 Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep Watch by your wea - ry head.
3 When the night came, silently lay Dead on Cull o den's field
4 Yet, e'er the sword cool in the sheath, Char - lie will come a - gain
