Walter Scott - MacGregor`s GatheringWalter Scott - MacGregor`s Gathering
Work rating: Medium


The moon`s on the lake, and the mist`s on the brae, And the Clan has a name that is nameless by day;       Then gather, gather, gather, Grigalach!       Gather, gather, gather, &c.     Our signal for fight, that from monarchs we drew, Must be heard but by night in our vengeful haloo!       Then haloo, Grigalach! haloo, Grigalach!       Haloo, haloo, haloo, Grigalach, &c.     Glen Orchy`s proud mountains, Coalchuirn and her towers, Glenstrae and Glenlyon no longer are ours;      We`re landless, landless, landless, Grigalach!      Landless, landless, landless, &c.    But doom`d and devoted by vassal and lord. MacGregor has still both his heart and his sword!      Then courage, courage, courage, Grigalach!      Courage, courage, courage, &c.    If they rob us of name, and pursue us with beagles, Give their roofs to the flame, and their flesh to the eagles!      Then vengeance, vengeance, vengeance, Grigalach!      Vengeance, vengeance, vengeance, &c.    While there`s leaves in the forest, and foam on the river, MacGregor, despite them, shall flourish for ever!      Come then, Grigalach, come then, Grigalach,      Come then, come then, come then, &c.    Through the depths of Loch Katrine the steed shall career, O`er the peak of Ben-Lomond the galley shall steer, And the rocks of Craig-Royston like icicles melt, Ere our wrongs be forgot, or our vengeance unfelt!      Then gather, gather, gather, Grigalach!      Gather, gather, gather, &c.
