On we poured until we met them,

Foot to foot, and hand to hand.

Horse and man went down like drift-wood

When the floods are black at Yule,

And their carcasses are whirling

In the Garry's deepest pool.

Horse and man went down before us—

Living foe there tarried none

On the field of Killiecrankie,

When that stubborn fight was done!
