1745 - The Flying Scotsmen

Here we are at the '45 Rising
The Scots and Tories dreaming of Stuarts
Back on the throne's got Protestants fuming
Only a small minority of Scots
Supporting Charlie's fantasies, they're not
In the mood for more absolutism
Life's not so bad joined in this British knot
Best we all resist French domination
By Madame Pompadour and Louis Quinze
And George II was quite impressing
Leading the troops at Dettingen, without
Running like James in '90 at the Boyne
The Irish Brigade may do their talking
But from Derby back north go flying Scots
