Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
[Verse 1]
G C
I'll tell it to you as they told it to me
G Am D
By the glow of the campfire burning
G Bm C
By the banks of the water where we sported and played
G D G
They once faced the fury of battle
[Chorus]
G C
And up through the Champlain came the Highland Brigade
G D
The pipes and the drummers played Scotland the Brave
G Bm C
But when they sailed home the piper's refrain
G C D G
Was "O, how cruel the volley"
[Verse 2]
G C
To one Duncan Campbell it came in a dream
G Am D
That he'd meet his fate where he never had been;
G Bm C
Where the blue waters roll and the stickerbush tear,
G D G
It's "Travel well, Duncan, I'll wait on you there.
[Verse 3]
G C
"For the French and the Indian have challenged our King."
G Am D
(To a soldier like Duncan, no need to explain.)
G Bm C
"'Tis many a time I've travelled the waves
G D G
To find my fate in the fire."
[Chorus]
G C
And up through the Champlain came the Highland Brigade
G D
The pipes and the drummers played Scotland the Brave
G Bm C
But when they sailed home the piper's refrain
G C D G
Was "O, how cruel the volley"
[Verse 4]
G C
From Fort William Henry their boats have shoved off
G Am D
To the North of Lake George in the morning;
G Bm C
To the place the Frenchmen call Carillon,
G D G
And the Indians: Ticonderoga.
[Verse 5]
G C
And the word struck Duncan like a thunderbolt there;
G Am D
Everyone knew of the warning.
G Bm C
"So, play us a tune to remember me by,
G D G
For tomorrow I'll not be returning."
[Chorus]
G C
And up through the Champlain came the Highland Brigade
G D
The pipes and the drummers played Scotland the Brave
G Bm C
But when they sailed home the piper's refrain
G C D G
Was "O, how cruel the volley"
[Verse 6]
G C
When the gunpowder flashed, the Highlanders died,
G Am D
Never again to walk the hillside.
G Bm C
In the wilderness green, in the sun and the rain,
G D G
It's here they're forever remaining.
[Verse 7]
G C
And I've told it to you as they told it to me,
G Am D
Of one Duncan Campbell and the Highland Brigade.
G Bm C
Where the campfire crackles in the summertime's wane,
G D G
Through the mist on the water comes the piper's refrain.
[Chorus]
G C
And up through the Champlain came the Highland Brigade
G D
The pipes and the drummers played Scotland the Brave
G Bm C
But when they sailed home the piper's refrain
G C D G
Was "O, how cruel the volley"
