Dunvegan’s Drums Lyrics by The Stanfields

0

[Pre-Chorus]
When Dunvegan's Drums
Beat in the air
At the first of the Inverness Fair
The liquor starts flowing
And the boys start going
To town
With blood in their hair

[Chorus]
The townie boys eye up the boys from the Glen
They neither got money to spend
They take all the girlies
Dancing and twirlin'
And scrap around back in the end

[Guitar]

Me mother she told me
Before I left the island
'Keep your nose and your fingernails clean
Don't ever be shy
Always look in their eye
And always say what you mean'

Well I meant what I said
When I called him a coward
Riddled with filth and disease
The silence was golden
As I was left holdin'
My guts in a pile at my knees

[Guitar]

Ay!

[Guitar]

I remember the jackals
They gathered around
Laughing and watching me bleeding

They fought in a pack and beat themselves dumb
Rah-Duh-Dum-Dum
Dunvegan's Drums

I remember the bastards
They ran in the night
When the mounties showed up on the scene
They're all good for nothing
They're rubble and scum
Rah-Dah-Dum-Dah
Dunvegan's Drums
