DONAL' CAMPBELL	A
Donal' Bane	B
sailed away across the	C
ocean	D
With the tartans of Clan	E
Gordon to the Indies'	F
distant shore	G
But on Dargai's lonely hill	H
side Donal' Campbell	A
met the foeman	E
And the glen of Athol	A
Moray will never see him more	G
	-
O the wailing of the women O the storm of	I
bitter sorrow	J
Sweeping like the wintry torrent thro' Athol	A
Moray's glen	E
When the black word reached the clansmen	E
that young Donal' Bane had fallen	E
In the red glare of the battle with the gallant	K
Gordon men	E
	-
Far from home and native sheiling with the	C
sun of India o'er him	L
Blazing down its cruel hatred on the white	M
faced men below	A
Stood young Donal' with his comrades like the	C
hound of ghostly Fingal	A
Eager waiting for the summons to leap up	N
against the foe	A
	-
Hark at last the pipes are pealing out the	C
welcome Caber Feidh	M
And wild the red blood rushes thro' every	O
Highland vein	E
They breathe the breath of battle the children	E
of the Gael	A
And fiercely up the hillside they charge and	M
charge again	E
	-
And the grey eye of the Highlands now is	F
dark as blackest midnight	M
The history of their fathers is written on each	P
face	F
Of border creach and foray of never yieldong	Q
conflict	M
Of all the memories shrouding a stern uncon	E
quered race	F
	-
And up the hillside up the mountain while	A
the war pipes shrilly clamour	O
Bayonet thrusting broadsword cleaving the	C
Northern soldiers fought	M
Till the sun of India saw them victors o' er the	C
dusky foeman	E
For who can stay the Celtic hand when Celtic	Q
blood is hot	M
	-
But the corse of many a clansman from the far	O
off Scottish Highlands	F
'Mid the rocks of savage Dargai is lying cold	M
and still	A
With the death dew on its forehead and young	Q
Donal' Campbell 's tartan	E
Bears a deeper stain of purple than the heather	O
of the hill	A
	-
Mourn him Mourn him thro' the mountains	F
wail him women of Clan Campbell	A
Let the Coronach be sounded tii it reach the	C
Indian shore	O
For your beautiful has fallen in the foremost	M
of the battle	A
And the glen of Athol Moray will never see	O
him more	O
