[Chorus]
Oh Gcruel is the snow that Csweeps GlenGcoe 
And covers the grave o' DDonald 
And Gcruel was the foe that Craped GlencoGe 
And Cmurdered the Dhouse o' MacGDonald 
[Verse 1]
They cGame through the Dblizzard, we Goffered them heat 
A Droof o'wer their heads, dry Gshoes for their Dfeet. 
We Gwined them and Ddined them, they Gate of our Emmeat 
And Cslept in the Dhouse o' MacGDonald  
[Chorus]
Oh Gcruel is the snow that Csweeps GlenGcoe 
And covers the grave o' DDonald 
And Gcruel was the foe that Craped GlencoGe 
And Cmurdered the Dhouse o' MacGDonald 
[Verse 2]
They Gcame from Fort DWilliam with Gmurder mind 
The DCampbell's had orders, King GWilliam had Dsigned 
Put Gall to the Dsword, these Gwords underEmlined 
And Cleave none Dalive called MacGDonald 
[Chorus]
Oh Gcruel is the snow that sCweeps GlencGoe 
And covers the grave o' DDonald 
And Gcruel was the foe that Craped GlencoGe 
And Cmurdered the Dhouse o' MacGDonald 
[Verse 3]
They Gcame in the Dnight when the Gmen were asleep 
That Dband of Argyles, through Gsnow soft and Ddeep. 
Like Gmurdering Dfoxes, amoGngst  helpless Emsheep 
They Cslaughtered the Dhouse O'MacGDonald  
[Chorus]
Oh Gcruel is the snow that Csweeps GlenGcoe 
And covers the grave o' DDonald 
And Gcruel was the foe that Craped GlencoGe 
And Cmurdered the Dhouse o' MacGDonald 
[Verse 4]
Some Gdied in their Dbeds at the Ghands of the foe 
Some Dfled in the night, and were Glost in the Dsnow. 
Some Glived to Daccuse him, that Gstruck the first Emblow 
But Cgone was the Dhouse of MacGDonald 
[Chorus]
Oh Gcruel is the snow that Csweeps GlenGcoe 
And covers the grave o' DDonald 
And Gcruel was the foe that Craped GlencoGe 
And Cmurdered the Dhouse o' MacGDonald 
[Outro]
Oh Gcruel is the snow that Csweeps GlenGcoe 
And covers the grave o' DDonald 
And Gcruel was the foe that Craped GlencoGe 
And Cmurdered the Dhouse o' MacGDonald
