Traditional Scottish Songs
- March Of The Cameron Men

The Cameron clan, from Lochaber in the far west of the Highlands of Scotland, was often described as "fiercer than fierceness itself."


March Of The Cameron Men

There's many a man of the Cameron clan
That has followed his chief to the field
He has sworn to support him or die by his side
For a Cameron never can yield.

I hear the pibroch sounding, sounding
Deep o'er the mountain and glen
While light springing footsteps
Are trampling the heath

Chorus
'Tis the march of the Cameron men.
'Tis the march, 'tis the march
'Tis the march of the Cameron men.

Oh, proudly they walk, but each Cameron knows
He may tread on the heather no more
But boldly he follows his chief to the field
Where his laurels were gathered before.

Chorus

The moon has arisen, it shines on the path
Now trod by the gallant and true
High, high are their hopes, for their chieftain has said
That whatever men dare, they can do.

Chorus
