Verse 1
It’s a long long way
From the Mersey to the Tay
Down a road we may not return
For it’s all because of the 45’ adventure
And the Jacobite within us all

Chorus
From our clans we come
We do promise on our swords
Not to turn on pain of our lives
And we will march for
Derby in the morning
Our banners they will fly high
Over London

Verse 2
Through the mud and snow
Travelling light as we do go
Hearing not a word to complain
We will break our camp
Half an hour before the daybreak
And we’ll make our 30 miles by night

Chorus

Verse 1
