These are the lyrics as in the insert of the CD:- COLD GLENCOE Lyrics by Gerry Geoghegan
The north wind blew and the snow came down We stamped out feet on the cold hard ground Though we were by duty pressed We looked for shelter, we asked for rest We knocked their door, as free men should They gave us drink, they gave us food They took us all in every man We lived with them as we made our plans
CH: Know us by our hearts, know us by our shame Know us by the part we played in William's game
We did bide with them for many days We raised our glass and sang their praise They saved us from our fearful plight But we cut them down in the dead of night As they slept upon their beds We stabbed their backs, we cracked their heads Though some few did take to flight They froze to death in the pale moonlight
Our deadly work we did with pride The ground ran red with blood that night As quietly we went around And burned their houses to the ground Sisters and their brothers cried Children watched their mothers die We did our worst and we did it well We damned our immortal souls to hell
We saw our work by the light of day Some fell to their knees and prayed Some thought hard upon our fate As the men that history would hate Hear me as I speak to you, of all the evil men can do Their is none worse that I know Than what we did in cold Glencoe
