been away for a while and I thought I'd throw this one in
CLAYMORE
(kevin gilfoy)
chorus So I'll walk through the highlands with claymore in hand Through all the old trails lined with heather For when I come back down, for the new world I am bound And my highlands are gone from me forever
Look yon lies the grave of young Cameron the brave As lads we would work the fields together He was young and strong and tall, but at Culloden he would fall Taken down by muskett ball and dragoon saber.
chorus
From here I see the glen where the Falkirk fight began Where Cumberland's men met Charlie's army Where the clansmen took the field, held their ground, refused to yeild To the sound of pipes and drums They marched in glory
chorus
And there stands the tree where my father gave to me This stout, broad sword of which I carry He said "hold it like a man, use if for the love of clan and it will serve you as well as it once served me."
chorus
So I'll lay my claymore down on this hallowed highland ground By the cairn where we told our ancient stories For no weapons can be see when we board the Aberdeen So my claymore must stay here with my memories.
