The Clan MacDonald, ( Lyrics):

In Glencoe, MacDonald dwelt in misty swirls on the braes
owned the land, ruled the clan, ruled the braes
Till the Kings men in their red coats
with thundering hoof and sword
took the land, taxed the crops, jailed our lords

The Highlander Code, don't bar the door
He who enters will be a friend,
In our red and green tartan
MacDonald defend,
the right to our Freedom our peace, our own ends.

Then the Kings man sent a Clansman
with wily smiles who said,
'Here's an oath signed in blood
yes and oath signed in blood
drop your swords, end this war, peace will reign'

The Highlander Code, don't bar the door
He who enters will be a friend,
Now peaceful our slumber
easy our dreams,
no enemy lurking we're safe now it seems.

In Glencoe, MacDonald died in misty swirls on the braes,
lost the land, lost the clan, lost the braes
when the Kings men, in black cloaks crept in
at night as we lay,
see the land washed in blood
see the clan washed in blood
torched the land
torched the thatch
red the braes,

The Highlander Code, don't bar the door
He who enters will be a friend,
See our red and green tartan
see our banners alight
taken in slumber,
taken at night.
