Lyrics:


Ye've a' hae heard tell o' bonnie Jean Cameron?
How she fell sick and was like tae dee?
But a' that they could recommend her
Aye was a'e blythe blink o' the Young Pretender.
Chorus:
Rare, O rare, bonnie Jean Cameron.
Rare, O rare, bonnie Jean-O.

And the doctor was sent for tae see in he could cure her.
Quickly he cam, he made no delay.
But a' that he could recommend her
Aye was a'e blythe blink o' the Young Pretender.
Chorus

Tae Charlie she wrote a very long letter,
Who were his freens and who were his foes
And a' the words were sweet and tender
Tae win the heart o' the Young Pretender.
Chorus

And scarcely had she sealed the letter
When up flew the door and in cam her King.
She cried to God, bade angels defend her
Then she fell in the arms o' the Young Pretender.
Chorus
