| Massacre of Glencoe (Words and Music Jim McLean1963) Oh, cruel was the snow that sweeps Glencoe, And covers the grave o' Donald, Oh, cruel was the foe that raped Glencoe, And murdered the house of MacDonald. They came in a blizzard we offered them heat. A roof for their heads dry shoes for their feet. We wined them and dined them, they ate of our meat, And they slept in the house of Mac Donald. 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 They came from Fort William with murder mind The Campbell's had orders, King William had signed Put all to the sword, these words underlined And leave none alive called MacDonald Some died in their beds at the hands of the foe Some fled in the night, and were lost in the snow. Some lived to accuse him, that struck the first blow But gone was the house of MacDonald Words and music Jim Mclean, Publisher Duart Music 1963 |
