Massacre Of Glencoe |
Oh cruel is the snow that sweeps Glencoe |
And covers the grave o' Donald |
And cruel was the foe that raped Glencoe |
And murdered the house o' MacDonald |
They came through the blizzard, we offered them heat |
A roof ower their heads, dry shoes for their feet |
We wined them and dined them, they ate o' our meat |
And slept in the house O' MacDonald |
They came from Fort William with murder mind |
The Campbell had orders, King William had signed |
Pit all tae the sword, these words underlined |
And leave none alive called MacDonald |
They came in the night when the men were asleep |
That band of Argyles, through snow soft and deep |
Like murdering foxes, among helpless sheep |
They slaughtered the house o' MacDonald |
Some died in their beds at the hands of the foe |
Some fled in the night, were lost in the snow |
Some lived to accuse him, what struck the first blow |
But gone was the house of MacDonald |
