Culloden Moor ( original song )

The year 1746, the place Culloden Moor by Inverness, Scotland. The English army led by the Duke of Cumberland, the son of King George II, , The Scottish Jacobite Army led by a Frenchman Prince Charles Edward Stuart. Nuff said, no more blood to be spilled, the land has enough already..... The Jacobites lost the day and the rebellion . Words. The skirl of the pipes the rattling red drummers the boom of the cannons the crack of the gunners the whistle of the lead balls the splinter of the white bone shouting men among the reek of Culloden claymore and sabre clang one against the other eyes rolling in sockets brother murder brother the butcher of Cumberland his cleaver in the highlands he will sleep well in his bed of ill feeling
