The McIntyre Song In England

In England

We Will Take The Good Old Way


McIntyres will lead the way
Lead the way into the fray
McIntyres will lead the way
The way the lies before us.

Chorus
We will take the good old way
We will take the good old way
We will take the good old way
The way that likes before us.

Climbing stiff the heathery ben
Winding swiftly down the glen
Should we meet with stragglers then
Their gear will serve to store us.

McIntyres watch on the hill
Be their wishes good or ill
We will keep whate're their will
The way that likes before us.

O'er the mountain's rocky steep
Down Glencoe out course will keep
In the King's name we will sweep
The rebels on before us.

To Glengarry and Lochiel
Keppoch trusty, true as steel
Hearts and claymores ever leal,
As were their sire's before them.

Bold McPersons will come forth,
With MacKenzies from the north
Where be they would try their worth,
In battles strife before them?
