I	A
	-
Come listen to another song	B
Should make your heart beat high	A
Bring crimson to your forehead	C
And the lustre to your eye	A
It is a song of olden time	D
Of days long since gone by	A
And of a Baron stout and bold	E
As e'er wore sword on thigh	A
Like a brave old Scottish cavalier	F
All of the olden time	D
	-
	-
II	A
	-
He kept his castle in the north	G
Hard by the thundering Spey	H
And a thousand vassals dwelt around	I
All of his kindred they	H
And not a man of all that clan	J
Had ever ceased to pray	H
For the Royal race they loved so well	K
Though exiled far away	H
From the steadfast Scottish cavaliers	L
All of the olden time	D
	-
	-
III	A
	-
His father drew the righteous sword	M
For Scotland and her claims	N
Among the loyal gentlemen	O
And chiefs of ancient names	N
Who swore to fight or fall beneath	P
The standard of King James	N
And died at Killiecrankie pass	Q
With the glory of the Graemes	Q
Like a true old Scottish cavalier	F
All of the olden time	D
	-
	-
IV	A
	-
He never owned the foreign rule	R
No master he obeyed	S
But kept his clan in peace at home	T
From foray and from raid	S
And when they asked him for his oath	U
He touched his glittering blade	S
And pointed to his bonnet blue	V
That bore the white cockade	S
Like a leal old Scottish cavalier	F
All of the olden time	D
	-
	-
V	A
	-
At length the news ran through the land	S
THE PRINCE had come again	W
That night the fiery cross was sped	S
O'er mountain and through glen	W
And our old Baron rose in might	S
Like a lion from his den	W
And rode away across the hills	Q
To Charlie and his men	W
With the valiant Scottish cavaliers	Q
All of the olden time	D
	-
	-
VI	A
	-
He was the first that bent the knee	A
When the STANDARD waved abroad	S
He was the first that charged the foe	A
On Preston's bloody sod	S
And ever in the van of fight	S
The foremost still he trod	S
Until on bleak Culloden's heath	P
He gave his soul to God	S
Like a good old Scottish cavalier	F
All of the olden time	D
	-
	-
VII	A
	-
Oh never shall we know again	W
A heart so stout and true	V
The olden times have passed away	H
And weary are the new	V
The fair White Rose has faded	S
From the garden where it grew	V
And no fond tears save those of heaven	X
The glorious bed bedew	S
Of the last old Scottish cavalier	F
All of the olden time	D
