They came from Fort William with murder mind
The Campbell's had orders, King William had signed
Put all to the sword, these words underlined
And leave none alive called MacDonald

Verse:
They came in the night when the men were asleep
That band of Argyles, through snow soft and deep.
Like murdering foxes, amongst helpless sheep
They slaughtered the house O'MacDonald

And covers the grave o' Donald
cruel was the foe that raped Glencoe

Verse:
Some died in their beds at the hands of the foe
Some fled in the night, and were lost in the snow.
Some lived to accuse him , that struck the first blow
But gone was the house of MacDonald

Refrein: 2x
Oh cruel is the snow that sweeps Glencoe
And covers the grave o' Donald
cruel was the foe that raped Glencoe
And murdered the house o' MacDonald
