  1. The Croft in Clachan ,an old traditional Scottish song


  2. The Johnny Cash song is "Croft in Clachan".

    With the Campbells and McDonalds, it was in their blood to fight

    With each passing generation it became a mans birthright

    But they always had a common enemy

    Never would the English crown take Scottish independency

    Oh the battles rage in Glasgow and majestic Edinburgh

    And they came with war machines and in the highlands shots were heard

    Then the people rose in union and the forces moved as one

    And the Clans all joined together to see English on the run

    And in a tiny croft in Clachan sat a mother, Peg Macdunn

    And she sewed the cords together for her 16 year old son

    And she cried as he was leaving, donâ

    And come you back to Clachan when the English are all done

    Now Rob Macdunn was ready as the left the croft behind

    And he joined the highland pipe brigade with one thing on his mind

    That to keep his home and freedom he must face it like a man

    So he marched in common union with his musket in his hand

    And he met the hill of battle in the highlands and the low

    And the reason for the fighting long within his blood to know

    In the middle of the rumble he was forward gaining ground

    And the bagpipes still were playing as the dead lay all around

    Then he moved in no direction till he faced the winds of North

    And he boldly climbed the highlands, further from the Firth of Forth

    Then one freezing, blowing morning, came the cry of Peg Macdunn

    Back to my croft in Clachan God has sent me home my son

    And in another croft in Clachan cross the way from the Macdunnâ

    With her face against the window sat a young girl, tired and worn

    And she smiled a secret knowing as she breathed a prayer alone

    I thank thee Lord for bringing Rob Macdunn back safely home

    Back to the croft in Clachan, he returned to peace again

    He had gone a boy of 16, but he came back as a man.
