Macdougalls Men

Am G Am I did not come for naught I came to warn C E Am MacDougall's men are coming lads they'll be here in the morn Am G Am I travelled hard upon the road, through the rainy night C E Am Call the men to arms my lads, there'll be a heavy fight Am G Am It seems the lass you've taken in is promised to another C E Am She's not what she appears to be, she lied about her mother Am G Am She said she was a tinker's lass, who lost her way sae blind C E Am And so she came unto your door, she knew you'd treat her kind Am G Am I did not come for naught I came to warn C E Am MacDougall's men are coming lads they'll be here in the morn Am G Am I travelled hard upon the road, through the rainy night C E Am Call the men to arms my lads, there'll be a heavy fight Am G Am I fear she has deceived your will, and know you would believe her C E Am The clothes upon her face and hands, you'll know she's no a tinker Am G Am For though her cloak is ragged new her skin is soft and pretty C E Am She's traded her fine linen in for garments torn and dirty Am G Am I did not come for naught I came to warn C E Am MacDougall's men are coming lads they'll be here in the morn Am G Am I travelled hard upon the road, through the rainy night C E Am Call the men to arms my lads, there'll be a heavy fight Am G Am I see she has won your heart, and you'll no give her freely C E Am But for the kindly deed you've done I fear you'll pay most dearly Am G Am MacDougall's men for vengeance come, their minds are bent on slaughter C E Am For hear me well she's not a lass, she is MacDougall's daughter Am G Am I did not come for naught I came to warn C E Am MacDougall's men are coming lads they'll be here in the morn Am G Am I travelled hard upon the road, through the rainy night C E Am Call the men to arms my lads, there'll be a heavy fight
