The words to THE BLOODY SARKS which is a song about the massacre that happened in Glen Fruin, which is next to Faslane on the west coast of Scotland.

1.
The young McGregor o Glen Strae wi eighty o his men,
Upon the Argyll sleekit word pit Finla's glen a flame,
The burning theiving hieland rant drove a the beast awa
And left ahint twa dirkit men to perish in the snaw.

2.
By Fallisdall the letter come frae black Dumbarton toon
To show the way they were tae bring McGreogor doon
The bloody sarks o butchered men tae Jamie's court maun gae
The widow women for to show and tell of the afray

3.
Collquone o Luss could thole nae mair wi trampeled savaged pride
Buchanan levies mounted up to tan McGreogor hide
From Leven's vale, Dumbarton toon and all these lowland parts
The burgesses and fairmers came wi vengeance in their hearts

4.
The Campbell and the Cameron, MacDonald o Glecoe
Ranked alang wi Gregorach and marched o'er the snaw
Far o'er the loch frae Arklet glen and doon the past Parlan
By Loch Long whose shores are held by the thieves o MacFarlane

5.
Collquone wi his lowland mob lined o'er the Fruin glen
Five hundred foot, arrayed aboot three hundred moutned men
Yon godless hoard o Gregorach and others o their kind
Will creep nae mair frae their lair wi murdering in their minds

6.
Aye whether be it for some stirks or just a ween o blacks
They’re ay'ways quick thier dirks to stick in ain anither backs
For honest men and guid Scots law we'll tramp the vermin oot
Just steady bide God's on our side o that there is nae doubt

7.
Then like a torrent frae the glen McGreogor's scarlet charge
The sassenach could ne'er withstand the claymore and the targe
And all around the hellish screams o torn and dying men
Their precious blood seeped in the mud and drained in Fruin Glen

8.
And every beast was lead awa a full twa thoosand heid
And the sairest price the victors paid was twa McGreogors dead
But bide ye yet the victor's feast the worst still to show
For the king proclaimed the Gregorach henceforth to be outlaw

9.
Aye the bold Mcgregor and his clan were a declared outlaw
