Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

G D
With the Campbell?s and McDonalds, it was in their blood to fight
G
With each passing generation it became a mans birthright
C
But they always had a common enemy
D G
Never would the English crown take Scottish independency

G D
Oh the battles rage in Glasgow and majestic Edinburgh
G
And they came with war machines and in the highlands shots were heard
D
Then the people rose in union and the forces moved as one
G
And the Clans all joined together to see English on the run

[Chorus]
C G
And in a tiny croft in Clachan sat a mother, Peg Mac Dunn
D G
And she sewed the cords together for her 16 year old son
C G
And she cried as he was leaving, don?t forget to keep you warm
D G
And come you back to Clachan when the English are all done

G D
Now Rob Mac Dunn was ready as he left the croft behind
G
And he joined the highland pipe brigade with one thing on his mind
D
That to keep his home and freedom he must face it like a man
G
So he marched in common union with his musket in his hand

[Chorus]
C G
And he met the hill of battle in the highlands and the low
D G
And the reason for the fighting long within his blood to know
C G
In the middle of the rumble he was forward gaining ground
D G
And the bagpipes still were playing as the dead lay all around

D
Then he moved in no direction till he faced the winds of North
G
And he boldly climbed the highlands, further from the Firth of Forth
D
Then one freezing, blowing morning, came the cry of Peg Mac Dunn
G
Back to my croft in Clachan God has sent me home my son
C G
And in another croft in Clachan cross the way from the Mac Dunn
D G
With her face against the window sat a young girl, tired and worn
C G
And she smiled a secret knowing as she breathed a prayer alone
D G
I thank thee Lord for bringing Rob Mac Dunn back safely home

[Solo]
C G D G

C G
Back to the croft in Clachan, he returned to peace again
D G
He had gone a boy of 16, but he came back as a man.
