BALLAD OF THE MEN OF KNOYDART
By Seumas Mor, as sung by Hamish Henderson
Tune: "Johnston's Motor Car"

Three verses are left out of the version posted by Wolfgang. Here they are:

3. "I'll write to Arthur Woodburn, boys,
And they will let you know,
That the 'Sacred Rights of Property'
Will never be laid low.
With your stakes and tapes, I'll make you traipse
From Knoydart to the Rand:
You can dig for gold till you're stiff and cold-
But not on this 'ere land."

7. When Brocket heard these fightin' words,
He fell down in a swoon,
But they splashed his jowl with uisge,
And he woke up mighty soon,
And he moaned, "These Dukes of Sutherland
Were right about the Scot.
If I had my way I'd start today
And clear the whole damn lot!"

9. "You may scream and yell, Lord Brocket-
You may rave and shout.
But the lamp we've lit in Knoydart
Will never now go out.
For Scotland's on the march, my boys-
We think it won't be long.
Roll on the day when the Knoydart Way
Is Scotland's Battle Song."

The song is incomplete without these verses.
