Cold the wind on the moors blow

Warm the enemy's fire glows

Black the harvest of Culloden

Pain and fear and death grow

'Twas love of our prince drove us on to Drumossie

But in scarcely the time that it takes me to tell

The flower of our country lay scorched by an army

As ruthless and red as the embers of hell

Warm the enemy's fire glows

Red Campbell the Fox did the work of the English

MacDonald in anger, did no work at all

With musket and cannon 'gainst honour and courage

The invader's men stood, while our clansmen did fall

Now mothers and children are left to their weeping

With only the memory of father and son
C A# F
Turned out of their homes to make shelter for strangers

The blackest of hours on this land has begun
[Chorus]

Cold the wind on the moors blow
Dm C A# Am
Warm the enemy's fire glows

Black the harvest of Culloden
