Johnny Cash - A croft in clachan

^GWith the Campbell?s and McDonalds, it was in their blood ^Dto fight With each passing generation it became a mans birth^Gright But they always had a ^Ccommon enemy Never ^Dwould the English crown take Scottish independ^Gency

^GOh the battles rage in Glasgow and maj^Destic Edinburgh And they came with war machines and in the highlands shots were he^Gard Then the people rose in union and the fo^Drces moved as one And the Clans all joined together to see English on the r^Gun

And in a t^Ciny croft in Clachan sat a mo^Gther, Peg Mac Dunn And she se^Dwed the cords together for her 16 year old s^Gon And she cr^Cied as he was leaving, don?t f^Gorget to keep you warm And ^Dcome you back to Clachan when the English are all d^Gone

Now ^GRob Mac Dunn was ready as he ^Dleft the croft behind And he joined the highland pipe brigade with one thing on his m^Gind That to keep his home and freedom he must f^Dace it like a man So he marched in common union with his musket in his h^Gand

And he met t^Che hill of battle in the hi^Gghlands and the low And the re^Dason for the fighting long within his blood to kn^Gow In the middle of the ru^Cmble he was for^Gward gaining ground And the bagp^Dipes still were playing as the dead lay all aro^Gund

Then he moved in no direction till he ^Dfaced the winds of North And he boldly climbed the highlands, further from the Firth of Fo^Grth Then one freezing, blowing morning, came the ^Dcry of Peg Mac Dunn Back to my croft in Clachan God has sent me home my s^Gon And in another cr^Coft in Clachan cross the ^Gway from the Mac Dunn With her f^Dace against the window sat a young girl, tired and w^Gorn And she sm^Ciled a secret knowing as she bre^Gathed a prayer alone I th^Dank thee Lord for bringing Rob Mac Dunn back safely ^Ghome

Back to ^Cthe croft in Clachan, he ret^Gurned to peace again He had g^Done a boy of 16, but he came back as a m^Gan.
