Davy Steele)
Chorus:
Lord Ronald McDonald, father of the clan
How could you use such a heavy hand
To force away the people who'd fought for your name
Now the Highlands will never be the same
People were driven from their homes, banished from their glens
Scattered afar like seeds to the wind
The weak died on the journey, the strong grew stronger yet
They made themselves a better life, still they can't forget
When they tried to tell you that things were going bad
Their ancient rights were being sold, you couldn't understand
For you were only Scots in name, your heart was never there
You cared nothing for your Northern lands, you left them stripped and bare
You said that right was on your side, the law of this land
That law was made for people with money in their hands
The land belongs to no one, it's owned by all, and yet
You sold Clan Donald's heritage to pay your foreign debt
(as sung by Ceolbeg)
