Culloden Songtext
von Steve McDonald

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
