@ endora, probably cos its the older version, its a traditional song and many people change around the verses and leave out verses when they do their arrangement of it. i like both versions. The bodhrans are war bodhrans and are much bigger than a regular bodhran. I would LOVE to have one.
I find it interesting that this melody I first learned on the pipes as "42nd Highlanders," also known as the Black Watch, which may have been formed due to the events surrounding this song depending on if this was the 1715 or 1745 rebellion.
If you're not stirred by this check your pulse, you are probably dead

Gotta watch Braveheart again. The tories put up a good recruiting song. I'd follow if I'd swung a sword!

no one who read Prebble's Culloden would have anything to do with the man who destroyed the Highland way of life

I keep reading online that there's supposed to be another verse to this:
Rouse, rouse ye kilted warriors,
Rouse heroes of the North!
Rouse, join our chieftain's banners,
'Tis your Prince that leads you forth!
Shall we basely crouch to tyrants?
Shall we own a foreign sway?
Shall a royal Stuart be banish'd,
While a stranger rules the day?
Anybody know why the Corries didn't include this?
