Song of Mordu by Patrick Doyle Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've hunted for him high and low
I've looked him in the eye
I dream about the perfect way
To make this devil die
Come taste my blade, ya manky bear
For gobblin' up my leg
I'll hunt ya then I'll skin ya
Hang your noggin on a peg
[Chorus]
Mor'du, Mor'du, Mor'du, Mor'du
You're ancient as the highlands and as unforgiven too
Mor'du, Mor'du, Mor'du, Mor'du
Now the time has come for all of us to slaughter you
[Verse 2]
He's bigger than a Cuillin, killin' armies with his paws
Mor'du is never happy till the blood runs from his jaws
He murders in the mountains and he fights with every clan
His teeth and jowls have ripped the hearts from many a highland man
[Chorus]
Mor'du, Mor'du, Mor'du, Mor'du
He's stolen lads and lassies, and wee 'bonnie babies too'
Mor'du, Mor'du, Mor'du, Mor'du
Now the time has come for all of us to slaughter you
[Verse 3]
Through glen and bog, and peat, and fog
We'll find your furry lair
And then we'll lance you, make you dance, you bear that are nae mair
We'll roast your rump, add haggis and neeps
And fry your blue blood black
We'll mix a slice of thigh with spice and grill you on the rack
[Chorus]
Mor'du, Mor'du, Mor'du, Mor'du
We'll bile yur heed with dumpling breed to make an ursine stew
Mor'du, Mor'du, Mor'du, Mor'du
Now the time has come for all the clans to slaughter you
[Verse 4]
We'll make his hide 'a cozy chair', his head upon the wall
We'll splash a dram of whiskey on his snout at every ball
Tales we'll tell from glen to glen of how we slayed the beast
And all will toast brave highland men at every royal feast
[Chorus]
Mor'du, Mor'du, Mor'du, Mor'du
The legend spreads from fire to fire, of the devil that we slew
Mor'du, Mor'du, Mor'du, Mor'du
Now the time has come for all the clans to slaughter you
Hooray!
I've hunted for him high and low
I've looked him in the eye
I dream about the perfect way
To make this devil die
Come taste my blade, ya manky bear
For gobblin' up my leg
I'll hunt ya then I'll skin ya
Hang your noggin on a peg
[Chorus]
Mor'du, Mor'du, Mor'du, Mor'du
You're ancient as the highlands and as unforgiven too
Mor'du, Mor'du, Mor'du, Mor'du
Now the time has come for all of us to slaughter you
[Verse 2]
He's bigger than a Cuillin, killin' armies with his paws
Mor'du is never happy till the blood runs from his jaws
He murders in the mountains and he fights with every clan
His teeth and jowls have ripped the hearts from many a highland man
[Chorus]
Mor'du, Mor'du, Mor'du, Mor'du
He's stolen lads and lassies, and wee 'bonnie babies too'
Mor'du, Mor'du, Mor'du, Mor'du
Now the time has come for all of us to slaughter you
[Verse 3]
