White Cockade (My True Love He Has Listed)

White Cockade (My True Love He Has Listed) by Kate Rusby Album: Underneath the Stars (2003 Pure Records)

This to me is like a Monarchist love ballad. Recounting the suffering of young men (and their sweethearts) who went to serve their King.

Beautiful song, with an awesome voice. Random pictures of 100 years of British military history. The white cockade should not be confused with a plume, it was the badge of Charles Edward Stewart and worn by his Jacobite supporters in the disastrous 1745 rebellion.

Such a beautiful song... I found this channel yesterday, and I'm quite honestly Sir, addicted. Keep up the good work!

The white cockade worn in headgear was a symbol for Scottish Royalists, and later Jacobites. It helped distignuish them from their foes as both sides tended to wear blue bonnets as headgear.

Wow beatiful voice makes my eyes water

Beautiful lyrics and melody. My best from France.

A lovely song and sweetly sung. I first encountered it fifty years ago as sung by the Watersons, and this does it equal justice--the eternal lament of the lass whose lad has taken the King's shilling, one war after another.

Just one small correction to the lyrics : first verse, third line. "A flowing ball" makes no sense in the context. It should be, "a flowing bowl"--an overflowing bowl of ale, that is.

I just love this song Kare..such beautiful lyrics and melody..

[stephenhowell]

Beautiful voice and song, pity all the paintings are misplaced. This song tells the story of a young man who joins the Jacobite rising of 1745. She wishes a Hollander ship had sunk the French frigate that brought Charles Edward Stewart, and disaster to the highlands of Scotland and her sweetheart who wore the white cockade at Culloden.

[tomozaki]

At beginning the guy is influenced and catched by the money and performances rather than his Love. Money and pride are nothing compared to Love.

where do i find those great paintings?

The Hanoverian cockade was black, it was the Jacobite that was white.

[stephenhowell]

Holland was at war with France in 1745.she wished that a hollander ship would sink the French frigate that took bonnie prince Charlie to scotlandcausingthe death of her sweetheart.

[kaczynskis]

Why the white cockade? That was Jacobite/French before the Revolution. The British Army cockade was black.
