Your Prince and Duke o'Perth, they're Cumb'rers o' the Earth,
Causing great Hunger and Dearth where they go.
They marched thro' our Land with a bloody thievish Band
To Edinburgh then they wan Treachery.......
They turned from that Place as the Fox, when Hounds do chace.
They tremble at the Name, Cumberlan'.....

A song about The Battle of Falkirk Garland of the Jacobite Rebellion said "Printed in the year 1746 An Excellent new Song on the Jacobites, and the Opression of the Rebels To the Tune of Captain Kid". In 1792 Robert Burns condensed it from 13 detailed anecdotal verses to 4 verses of commentary and republished it.

@utunderground This is a traditional song that may well be 300 years old. It was rewritten by the Scottish poet, Robert Burns and the lyrics here are pretty much his version. Owen was a friend of my dad's. I never heard him sing, but I found this CD in a music shop last year and decided to put something up because I couldn't find anything of his on YT. Glad you enjoyed it!
