(Chorus)

O Cruel is the snow

That sweeps Glencoe

And covers the grave O Donald

And cruel was the foe

That raped Glencoe

And murderd the house of

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 they slept in the house of

MacDonald



(Chorus)



They came from Fort William

Wi' murder in mind

The Campbells had orders

King William had signed

Put all to the sword

These words were underlined

And leave none alive called

MacDonald



(Chorus)



They came in the night

When the men were asleep

This band O' Argyles

Through snow soft and deep

Like murdering foxes

Among helpless sheep

They slaughtered the house of

MacDonald



(Chorus)



Some died in their beds

At the hand of the foe

Some fled in the night

And were lost in the snow

Some lived to accuse him

That struck the first blow

But gone was the house of 

MacDonald
