"The Calling of the Clans"
(The Homecoming)
Harry MacGregor & Don Graham
They’re coming from the mountains, from across the desert sands
From all four corners of the world, all far off foreign lands
They’re coming all together, they’re coming with a plan
They’re coming all together for the calling of the clans
The Romans tried to break them to bring them to their knees
But they stood tall among the heather blowing briskly in the breeze
Against the mighty British a proud people took a stand
Running down the mountain with their claymores in their hands
CHORUS
The calling of the clan will call on every man
To hold the torch of freedom firmly in their hands
The ancient blood will stir in them and they’ll do all they can
They’re coming all together for the calling of the clans
From the Bay in San Francisco to the streets of Montreal
They’re calling all MacGregors, MacDougalls and McCauls
They’re all called together, they’re called to take a stand
They’re called to come together for the calling of the clans
