Verse
Am C
He watches for the gauger man that prowls the countryside,
Am Dm Em Am
He hides his liquid treasure then waits for night and rides
Am C
O'er the Torrance burn tae Glesca where there's plenty that will buy her
Am Dm Em Am
She's that sweet forbidden devil uisge beatha
[Chorus]
D C
Whiskey is a deevil jaud that burns the brains o' man
Dm Em
He'll dance or stagger sing or fight
Dm Em
He'll argue black and blue is white
D C
The fermer's wife the weeda and the weary workin' man
C Am
They fill the air wi' curses on that devil uisge beatha
[Verse 2]
Am C
E band o' wild marauders in the colours o' Colquhoun
Am Dm Em Am
Were camped among the Campsie moors above the Lennoxtoon
Am C
The folk below were soon tae know they were clan Gregor men
Am Dm Em Am
When they came sweepin' doon the Campsie Glen
[Verse 3]
Am
They scattered a' before them a' the weemin and the bairns
C Am
They chased the fermin' workers and the fermers' fae their hames
Am C
They gathered up the cattle and they camped aside the hill
Am Dm Em Am
And there they fun' the hidden whisky still
[Chorus]
D C
Whiskey is a deevil jaud that burns the brains o' man
Dm Em
He'll dance or stagger sing or fight
Dm Em
He'll argue black and blue is white
D C
The fermer's wife the weeda and the weary workin' man
C Am
They fill the air wi' curses on that devil uisge beatha
[Verse 4]
Am C
The Campsie men assembled then tae see what could be done
Am Dm Em Am
But shepherd lads and cottars cannae match a hielan' band
Am C
They cursed the thievin' reivers and their heathen hielan cries
Am Dm Em Am
As they drank their fill aneath the evenin' skies
[Chorus]
D C
Whiskey is a deevil jaud that burns the brains o' man
Dm Em
He'll dance or stagger sing or fight
Dm Em
He'll argue black and blue is white
D C
The fermer's wife the weeda and the weary workin' man
[Riff]
C Am
They fill the air wi' curses on that devil uisge beatha
[Verse 5]
Am C
Whisky is a devil jaud that burns the brains o' man
Am Dm Em Am
For in the night the hielan' men fell drunk upon the grun
Am C
The Campsie men crept up to them and slew them as they lee
Am Dm Em Am
And a' was back in order by the day
[Verse 6]
Am
There's stills above the Clachan there's stills aroon the fells
C Am
There's stills aroon the countryside nae gauger man can smell
Am C
But the one that snared the Gregor was mair valuable than ten
Am Dm Em Am
Tae the hones fermers o' the Campsie Glen
[Chorus]
D C
Whiskey is a deevil jaud that burns the brains o' man
Dm Em
He'll dance or stagger sing or fight
Dm Em
He'll argue black and blue is white
D C
The fermer's wife the weeda and the weary workin' man
C Am
They fill the air wi' curses on that devil uisge beatha
