1. Wi' a hundred pipers, an''a, an''a Wi' a hundred pipers, an''a, an''a We'll up an' gie them a blaw, a blaw. Wi' a hundred pipers, an''a, an''a. O it's owre the border awa', awa', It's owre the border awa', awa'. We'll on an' we'll march to Carlisle. Ha! Wi' its yetts, its castle an''a, an''a.      Chorus    Wi' a hundred pipers, an''a, an''a,    Wi' a hundred pipers, an''a, an''a,    We'll up an' gie them a blaw, a blaw!    We' a hundred pipers, an''a, an''a.   2. Oh our sodger lads looked braw , looke braw. Wi' their tartan kilts an''a, an''a. Wi' their bonnets an' feathers an' glitterin' gear An' pibrochs sounding loud and clear. Will they a' return to their ain dear glen? Will they a' return oor Heilan' men? Second sichted Sandy looked fu' wae An' mithers grat when they march'd away.      Chorus   3. Oh wha' is foremost oh''a, oh''a? Oh wha' is formeost oh''a', oh''a? Bonnie Charlie the King o' us a' hurrah Wi' his hundred pipers an''a, an''a. His bonnet and feathers he's waving high, His brancing steed maist seems to fly, The nor' win' plays wi' his curly hair, While the pipers play wi' an unco flare!      Chorus   4. The Esk was swollen sae red an' sae deep, But shouter the brave lads keep. Twa thousands swam owre to fell English ground An' danced themselves dry to the pibroch's sound. Dumfoun'erd the english saw, they saw. Dumfoun'erd they heard the blaw, the blaw! Dumfoun'erd they a' ran awa', awa', Frae the hundred pipers an''a, an''a!      Chorus
