O cruel is the snow that sweeps Glencoe And covers the grave,
O Donald!
O cruel is the foe that raped Glencoe And murdered the house,
O MacDonald!
They came in a blizzard,
we offered them heat A roof o'er their heads,
dry shoes for their feet
We wined them and dined them,
they ate of our meat And slept in the house,
O MacDonald!
O cruel is the snow that sweeps Glencoe And covers the grave,
O Donald!
O cruel
is the foe that raped Glencoe And murdered the house,
O MacDonald!
Some died in their beds,
at the hands of the foe
Some fled in the night and were lost in the snow
Some lived to accuse him who struck the first blow
But gone was the house, O MacDonald!
O cruel is the snow that sweeps Glencoe
And covers the grave, O Donald!
O cruel
is the foe that raped Glencoe
And murdered the house, O MacDonald!
O cruel is the snow
that
sweeps Glencoe
