I've been called to fight for Royalty

to be at the King's commands

be a martyr for my country

spill my blood all on the land

and if I should die in battle

it's a noble thing to do

but if I should be a hero

I will return to you.



For the glens have been my kingdom

my only royalty

and I've raised my sword against the Lord

to protect my family

but to join the English army

and to fight for them abroad

not for England or her empire

could I ever raise my sword.



I hear the drumbeat sounding

it will lead me far away

and although my soul is leaving

my heart will surely stay

and I'll fight for them tomorrow

though it be against my word

or my children they will perish

on an English soldier's sword.
