Lyrics
:Lament him, ye mountains of Ross-shire; :Your tears be the dew and the rain; :Ye forests and straths, let the sobbing winds :Unburden your grief and pain. :Lament him, ye warm-hearted clansmen, :And mourn for a kinsman so true :The pride of the Highlands, the valiant MacDonald :Will never come back to you. :O, wail for the mighty in battle, :Loud lift ye the Coronach strain; :For Hector, the Hero, of deathless fame, :Will never come back again. :Lament him, ye sons of old Scotia, :Ye kinsmen on many a shore; :A patriot-warrior, fearless of foe, :Has fallen to rise no more. :O cherish his triumph and glory :On Omdurman's death-stricken plain, :His glance like the eagle's, his heart like the lion's :His laurels a nation's gain. :O, wail for the mighty in battle, :Loud lift ye the Coronach strain; :For Hector, the Hero, of deathless fame, :Will never come back again. :O rest thee, brave heart, in thy slumber, :Forgotten shall ne'er be thy name; :The love and the mercy of Heaven be thine; :Our love thou must ever claim. :To us thou art Hector the Hero, :The chivalrous, dauntless, and true; :The hills and the glens, and the hearts of a nation, :Re-echo the wail for you. :O, wail for the mighty in battle, :Loud lift ye the Coronach strain; :For Hector, the Hero, of deathless fame, :Will never come back again. ==External links==
