Ode to the Macfie Clan
Ode to the Macfie Clan
MacDuffee and McAfee we're all the same
Regardless of how you spell our name.
"Dark one of peace" so they say
Mermaids and fairies of yesterday.
Kenneth MacAlpin is our king
Descended from him, a legendary thing.
Royal blood runs thru our veins
Like the streams in Scotland after it rains.
"Keepers of the Records of the Isles"
Our Clan welcomes you with many smiles.
You've heard "Every dog has its day"
According to MacPhie of Colonsay.
From Bannockburn to Boyne defending our way
Fighting Scots we are, mess with us - you'll pay.
County Antrim and Derry, also our home
Back and forth to the Inner Hebrides we roam.
From Colonsay to Islay, Jura and more
To Ulster in Ireland on the Northern shore.
Traveling over the oceans, leading the way
To Canada, Australia and the USA.
We love the bagpipes, from cradle to the grave
We listen with pride to "Scotland, the Brave".
We sharpen our claymores and prepare for war
With Wallace and Bruce, we stand for more.
Andrew is our greatest patron of the saints
The blue sky is his canvass, a white saltire he paints.
Wherever we may live, wherever we may roam
We are one big family, we call Scotland our home.
So here's to you and here's to me
I hope we never disagree
But if we do, I'll laugh with you
Because we are of the Clan Macfie!
