lirik lagu massacre – the massacre of glencoe
ballad of “the m-ssacre of glencoe
chorus
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 macdonald.
chorus
they came from fort william with murder in mind.
the campbell had orders king william had signed.
“put all to the sword”- these words underlined,
“and leave none alive called macdonald.”
chorus
they came in the night when the men were asleep,
this band of argyles, through snow soft and deep,
like murdering foxes amongst helpless sheep,
they slaughtered the house of macdonald.
chorus
some died in their beds at the hand of the foe;
some fled in the night and were lost in the snow;
some lived to accuse him who struck the first blow;
but gone was the house of macdonald.
chorus
