The clans are marching `gainst the law
Bagpipers play the tunes of war
Death or glory I will find
Rebellion on my mind (4x) [1].[2]

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 clan's 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 Prestopans

Armed and ready stand
My rights I must defend
Steel is in my hand

[Chorus:]
The clan's are marching 'gainst the law
Bagpipers play the tunes of war
Death or glory I will find
Rebellion on my mind
