No doubt it has been on the minds of folks from Scotland, that the newly acceded king of England, Charles Philip Arthur George, is not the only person to have claimed the throne of England as Charles III.

The Corries did a fabulous version of this song as 'Come O'er the Stream Charlie' with slightly different words:

The words I have used are from here:

published in 1821.

A version here, from 1921 has the transformation of bonnets into bayonets and also missed the verse about Mary from Glen McQuarrie's services being offered:

This is the Maclean, Sir Hector, that wrote to Charles in 1744:
