With the Campbell?s and McDonalds, it was in their blood to fight
ch]G[/ch
With each passing generation it became a mans birthright
ch]C[/ch
But they always had a common enemy
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Never would the English crown take Scottish independency
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Oh the battles rage in Glasgow and majestic Edinburgh
ch]G[/ch
And they came with war machines and in the highlands shots were heard
ch]D[/ch
Then the people rose in union and the forces moved as one
ch]G[/ch
And the Clans all joined together to see English on the run
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And in a tiny croft in Clachan sat a mother, Peg Mac Dunn
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And she sewed the cords together for her 16 year old son
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And she cried as he was leaving, don?t forget to keep you warm
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And come you back to Clachan when the English are all done
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Now Rob Mac Dunn was ready as he left the croft behind
ch]G[/ch
And he joined the highland pipe brigade with one thing on his mind
ch]D[/ch
That to keep his home and freedom he must face it like a man
ch]G[/ch
So he marched in common union with his musket in his hand
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And he met the hill of battle in the highlands and the low
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And the reason for the fighting long within his blood to know
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
In the middle of the rumble he was forward gaining ground
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And the bagpipes still were playing as the dead lay all around
ch]D[/ch
Then he moved in no direction till he faced the winds of North
ch]G[/ch
And he boldly climbed the highlands, further from the Firth of Forth
ch]D[/ch
Then one freezing, blowing morning, came the cry of Peg Mac Dunn
ch]G[/ch
Back to my croft in Clachan God has sent me home my son
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And in another croft in Clachan cross the way from the Mac Dunn
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
With her face against the window sat a young girl, tired and worn
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And she smiled a secret knowing as she breathed a prayer alone
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I thank thee Lord for bringing Rob Mac Dunn back safely home
Solo
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Back to the croft in Clachan, he returned to peace again
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
He had gone a boy of 16, but he came back as a man.
