He ay may depend on M'Donald,
Wi' Highlandmen a' in a row.
Knees an' elbaws an' a',
Elbaws an' knees an* a ;
Depend upon Donald M'Donald,
His knees an' elbaws an' a'.
If Bonaparte land at Fort William,
Auld Europe nae langer sail grane ;
I laugh when I think how we'll gall him,
Wi' bullet, wi' steel, an' wi' stane^
Wi' rocks o' the Nevis an' Gairy,
We'll rattle him aff frae our shore ;
Or lull him asleep in a cairney,
An' sing him Lochaber no more.
Stanes an' bullets an' a',
Bullets an' stanes an' a' ;
We'll finish the Corsican callan'
Wi' stanes an' bullets an' a'.
The Gordon is gude in a hurry,
An' Campbell is steel to the bane,
An' Grant, an' M'Kenzie, an' Murray,
An' Cameron will hurkle to nane.
The Stuart is sturdy an' wannel,
An' sae is M'Leod an' M'Kay,
An' I, their guid-brither M 'Donald,
Shall ne'er be the last in they fray.
