And proudly (Em) vow with (G) heart and ha(C)nd,
To (G) fight for Royal (D) Char(G)lie!

Tha Tighin Fodham, Fodham, Fodham
» (pronounced "ha cheen foam" and meaning "I must needs") is borrowed from the 1715 gathering song « Tha tighinn fodham Éirigh" composed by John McDougall McLean . The device of the Gaelic quotation inside an English poem is imitated from Sir Walter Scott's « Mackrimmon's Lament » whose 6th stanza is in Gaelic.
