Cold the wind on the moors blow

Black the harvest of Culloden

'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

Red Campbell the Fox did the work of the English

With musket and cannon 'gainst honour and courage

The blackest of hours on this land has begun
