O'er the Torrance burn tae Glesca where there's plenty that will buy her
Em Am Bm Em
She's that sweet forbidden devil uisge beatha

Whiskey is a deevil jaud that burns the brains o' man
Am Bm
He'll dance or stagger sing or fight
Am Bm
He'll argue black and blue is white
A G
The fermer's wife the weeda and the weary workin' man

They fill the air wi' curses on that devil uisge beatha

B band o' wild marauders in the colours o' Colquhoun

When they came sweepin' doon the Campsie Glen
[Verse 3]

They scattered a' before them a' the weemin and the bairns

And there they fun' the hidden whisky still

There's stills above the Clachan there's stills aroon the fells

Em Am Bm Em
Tae the hones fermers o' the Campsie Glen
