THE CAMPBELLS ARE COMING
1715 A.D.

The Campbells are coming, o-ho, o-ho!
The Campbells are coming, o-ho!
The Campbells are coming to bonnie Loch-leven!
The Campbells are coming, o-ho, o-ho!

Upon the Lomonds I lay, I lay;
Upon the Lomonds I lay;
I lookit down to bonnie Lochleven,
And saw three perches play.

Great Argyle he goes before;
He makes the cannons and guns to roar;
With sound o’ trumpet, pipe, and drum;
The Campbells are coming, o-ho, o-ho!

The Campbells they are a’ in arms,
Their loyal faith and truth to show,
With banners rattling in the wind;
The Campbells are coming, o-ho, o-ho!
