Found it! The song is called "The Hielan' Man" by Matt McGinn. It may not be what you are after but I hope you enjoy it anyway. THE HIELAN' MAN (Matt McGinn) Ten thousand Roman sodgers To the Hielans they came north. And they had conquered millions Frae the Tiber tae the Forth. They landed near Loch Lomond For the night they thought they'd lie But frae somewhere on the Cobbler hill, They heard this terrible cry Chorus: Gregali, Gregaloo! Come up and fight ya cowardly crew, I'll have you for my pot of stew; You're feart tae fight wi' me! On top was a a bearded hielan man Wi' a kilt and a big claymore; He looked a bit ferocious So old Caesar sent up four. Then he sat doon tae supper By the bright light o' the moon, But he lost his taste for vino When four heids came rollin' doon. Chorus Then he sent up Mark Anthony Wi' another fifty-five: 'Go bring tae me that rascal's heid, Or I'll have ye skinned alive!' Thet heard a clash o' metal then Until the night was done; But then there came this terrible cry Wi' the risin' o' the sun. Chorus He next sent up a thousand men This hielan man tae crack; But oot o' a' that thousand There was only one came back. 'O Caesar,' screamed the sodger Wi' his heid a' black and blue, 'That rascal has been kiddin' us, There's not just one - but two!' Chorus So Caesar picked his suitcase up And he ran southwards then. He was doin' eighty miles an hour But he couldnae catch his men. Now maybe you will wonder Why I've told this tale at all; Well, it has a simple moral And they call it - HADRIANS WALL
