Rob Rhuadh was written by Gordon Menzies and Robin Watson of Gaberlunzie, and appears on their CD  Highland Lines.  That's as much information as is available on the net and is no help, but will at keep the thread current.

Gordon Menzies has agreed to send them to me when he finishes his tour, and I'll post them here then.

Thanks very much to Gordon Menzies for the correct lyrics:

ROB RHUADH      Lyrics by Gordon Menzies Music by Robin Watson.
(c) Gaberlunzie Music

My name is Rob Rhuadh my clan is MacGregor
A name barely whispered from London to Kyle
My horse is the wind and my home is the heather
'Til I claim again Inversnaid and Glengyle

    Chorus
    Rob Rhuadh, Rob Rhuadh, Rob Rhuadh Mhor
    Rob Rhuadh, Rob Rhuadh, Rob Rhuadh Mhor                      "

An outlaw I'm branded, a riever of cattle
My name is forbidden but 'til my last breath
Let Killearn and his carrion stand and do battle
MacGregor will teach them the mercy of death

Gregalach, Gregalach screams the wild eagle
Gregalach, Gregalach roars the dark sea
Rhuadh, Rob Rhuadh, the bark of the red deer
The spark of the fire and the song of the Free

For my Race is Royal let no man deny it
The pipes will proclaim it from mountain to shore
Our seed may be scattered to all the four winds
But the flower will return to hold Scotland once more.

When I get the chords I'll post them as well. Mr. Menzies has offered to enail them soon.
