the mcgregors - crooked oak lyrics

mcgregor, oh the highland clan
you left five sons and ne’er a man
your motley crews to load the can
to terrorize the border
jamie weirs fourteen wains
ne’er a slack lad to the bairns
wi idle look and little brain
cause nothing but disorder

mcgregor, oh you left your gun
to robin, oh your second son
nae, maclaren’s days are done
jamie’s taen his cattle
he’s led them off at early dawn
your widow ellen’s led him on
you’d better see that they are gonе
and be prepared for battlе

mcgregor, oh your kith and kin
loud before the loughlin
friend o’ robin, name and bin
they come one wi plenty
jamie’s taen the widow free
wi munching hoose for all to see
mother, do ye ask for company?
jean was barely twenty
mcgregor, aye, to see him go
to the hills aboot glencoe
your rascals knew, they’re lying low
hope for jeannie’s favour
jeannie, she’d spoils and grace
to put her off and to your face
swore they’d put her in her place
and on her best behaviour

mcgregor, aye, if he could see
the pleading in the lassies’ e’e
i’m sure he’d set the widow free
it’s cruel to hear her sobbing
against her will, oh she be led
aye, her man forced to the bed
arm up the kirk where she be wed
nerves o’ mit tee robin

mcgregor, aye, it’s drawing near
law’s close at hand, i fear
glasgow’s days are sure to flee
hands and arm to leave her
and law at last will have its chance
jamie’s fled awa to france
law be there to see her dancing
h*ll, they’ll meet together
