ANDY M. STEWART - GALLANT MURRAY (GATHERING OF ATHOLE) / THE WHITE R lyrics

rate me

Wha will ride wi' gallant Murray

Wha will ride for Geordie's sel'

He's the flower o' Glen Isla

And the darlin' o' Dunkeld

See the white rose in his bonnet

See his banner o'er the Tay

His guid sword he now has drawn it

And has flung his sheath away

Every faithfu' Murray follows

First of heroes, best of men

Every true and trusty Stewart

Blythely leaves his native glen

Athol lads are lads of honour

Westland rogues are rebels a'

When we come within their border

We may gar the Campbell's claw

Menzies he's our friend and brother

Gask and Strowan are nae slack

Noble Perth has ta'en the field

And a' the Drummonds at his back

Let us ride wi' gallant Murray

Let us fight for Charlie's crown

From the right we'll never sinder

Til we bring the tyrants down

MacIntosh the gallant sodger

Wi' the Grahams and Gordons gay

They have ta'en the field of honour

Spite of all their chiefs could say

Bend the musket point the rapier

Shift the brog for Lowland shoe

Scour the durk and face the danger

MacIntosh has all to do

Repeat first verse
