Fighting for old Charlie - English Royalist Song

[@alexmag342]

Beautiful song, i love the cavalier cheekiness of it too

[@duncanidaho2097]

Just 100 years later and it’s “Wha’ll be king but Charlie”

[@olekcholewa8171]

News frae Moidart.

[@olekcholewa8171]

Also the irony of Bonnie Prince Charlie being born on January 30th, the day his great-grandfather Charles I was executed, and dying in 1788, 100 years after his grandfather James II was deposed from the English throne during the Glorious Revolution.

Best royalist song from the English civil war so far!!!

[@richardcleveland8549]

If it's true that history is written by the victors, it's also true that The Cause can be kept alive by song. This one was well-done - has a raw sound, like soldiers marching. As one branch of my family came to New England in 1620 and another to Boston in 1635, their sentiments would've been on the other side. Compliments to The City Waites.

​@@Vostok7789No he isn't. His family is of German origin, but he is an Englishman. The current Jacobite heir however is an actual German: Franz duke of Bavaria.

Clearly a modern song. Not 17th century English.

[@olekcholewa8171]

Could be a modern version of a Civil War era song.

[@palastofhistory4026]

It's a modernized version of a 17th century song

[@hallwongting]

its a modernized version so people can actually yk, understand it. nonetheless the lyrics are similar

[@numinasarcadia1717]

Same tune as Old England Grown New

[@charlesmaximus9161]

I don’t know about the lyrics. But the melody is indeed older and actually predates the time period.

He made some terrible mistakes which perhaps weren't even deliberate but it is the root of England's problems and the world's problems in the 21st century. I am of course referring to his reversal of the events of 1290.

[@duncanidaho2097]

Bloody Cromwell was a butcher. Even for his time.

[@edmondironside240]

The only reason Cromwell won was because the new model army was funded by foreign money-changers….
