When the drum beats
Down the mountain
Bend the heather
Beat the drum
When the pipes skirl
Spin together
Hell for leather
Beat the Drum
When the plaid swirls
Toss the bonnet
Hair and feather
Beat the Drum
Wind and weather
Like the thunder
Down the glen now
Beat the drum
Like the Eagle
Over mountains
Gold and sharp eyed
Beat the drum
On the hill now
Like the red bull
Defiant standing
Beat the Drum
Through the Heather
To the croft now
Leap the burn
Beat the drum
Sword of Scotland
For its bravest
The world over
Beat the drum
Highland brothers
To the Highlands
Like their drum
Do belong
So let the pipes
Their lament
As their spirits
Wander on
Scotland’s bravest
When the pipes skirl
Dance together
All as one
Spirit wind
From the Highlands
Bend the heather
Beat the Drum
Egal Bohen
