The Prince sat on his Gray Horse
And Bade the Pipes be played
The wind pulled at our drones
As load up, I heard men say
As sleet slid from the battalion drums

Then o'er the brae came rumbling
From mouths of heated steel
Lord Belford's shot came tumbling
Our rebel forces reeled
As rant on Rant addressed the drums

Culloden Field Seinn Seun Shield
Wind blow the shot away
Protect him from the fray
Culloden Field Seinn Seun Shield
But only fog was blown away
And we saw the light of day

Then Austin lost his lady
A strong and healthy Mare
As Daniel pleads now to our Prince
Rein up I heard him say
As sleet slid from the battalion drums

Now Cumberland thought shrewdly
Forbade a charge that day
Lord Murray saw red on his flank
Close up I heard men say
As Rant on rant addressed the drums

Culloden Field Seinn Seun Shield
Protect our kin you find
Impressed in the enemy lines
Culloden Field Seinn Seun Shield
Blood Chieftains have their way
So brother doth brother slay

The regiment o'Barrell's
Withstood the Highland charge
No one took heel from slashing steel
No quarter was given that day
As sleet slid from the battalion drums

Now the Fraser's lost their Colors
Blue silk sunk in marshy ground
While Murray's charge did break the line
Like Wolves they mowed men down
As rant on rant addressed the drums

Culloden Field Seinn Seun Shield
Rain wash the blood away 
The blood that's spilt today
Culloden Field Seinn Seun Shield
Would the Fox that got away
Turn and flight another day

Now Culloden's field are empty
And grass grows to the knee
And of this Prince this man of myth
We cry out Bonnie Charlie
As even in Sleet the curious come

Now o'er the sea came rumbling
From those that knew each draidh
For this nation blessed and long suppressed
They sing out our history
As clan on clan hear their drums

Culloden Field Seinn Seun Shield
Couldn't take what we held dear
Our bagpipe kilt and beer
Culloden Field Seinn Seun Shield
So I'll charge my glass and cheer
A proud seven hundred years
