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 o'wer their heads, dry shoes for their feet. 
  We wined them and dined them, they ate of our meat 
  And slept in the house O' MacDonald  

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 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 

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 in the night when the men were asleep 
That band of Argyles, through snow soft and deep. 
Like murdering foxes, amongst  helpless sheep 
They slaughtered the house O'MacDonald  

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   

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 

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
