Highlander

When the drum beats
Down the mountain
Bend the heather
Beat the drum
-
When the pipes skirl
Spin together
Hell for leather
Beat the Drum
-
When the plaid swirls
Toss the bonnet
Hair and feather
Beat the Drum
-
Wind and weather
Like the thunder
Down the glen now
Beat the drum
-Like the Eagle
Over mountains
Gold and sharp eyed
Beat the drum
-
On the hill now
Like the red bull
Defiant standing
Beat the Drum
-
Through the Heather
To the croft now
Leap the burn
Beat the drum
-
Sword of Scotland
For its bravest
The world over
Beat the drum
-
Highland brothers
To the Highlands
Like their drum
Do belong
-So let the pipes
Their lament
As their spirits
Wander on
-
Scotland’s bravest
When the pipes skirl
Dance together
All as one
-Spirit wind
From the Highlands
Bend the heather
Beat the Drum
