He watches for the gauger man that prowls the countryside,
Dm Gm Am Dm
He hides his liquid treasure then waits for night and rides
Dm F
O'er the Torrance burn tae Glesca where there's plenty that will buy her
Dm Gm Am Dm
She's that sweet forbidden devil uisge beatha
[Chorus]
G F
Whiskey is a deevil jaud that burns the brains o' man
Gm Am
He'll dance or stagger sing or fight
Gm Am
He'll argue black and blue is white
G F
The fermer's wife the weeda and the weary workin' man

They fill the air wi' curses on that devil uisge beatha

A band o' wild marauders in the colours o' Colquhoun

Were camped among the Campsie moors above the Lennoxtoon

The folk below were soon tae know they were clan Gregor men

When they came sweepin' doon the Campsie Glen
[Verse 3]
Dm
They scattered a' before them a' the weemin and the bairns
F Dm
They chased the fermin' workers and the fermers' fae their hames

They gathered up the cattle and they camped aside the hill
Dm Gm Am Dm
And there they fun' the hidden whisky still
[Chorus]

The Campsie men assembled then tae see what could be done

As they drank their fill aneath the evenin' skies

For in the night the hielan' men fell drunk upon the grun

And a' was back in order by the day

Dm
There's stills above the Clachan there's stills aroon the fells

But the one that snared the Gregor was mair valuable than ten
Dm Gm Am Dm
Tae the hones fermers o' the Campsie Glen
[Chorus]
