The Night The Lights Went Out In Scotland Lyrics - Real Mckenzies

we're lookin' back to see 

the eighteenth century 

talkin' bout the shit that went down 

after the fall of culloden 

that's when prince charlie ran away 

the dragons came, they hacked and slayed 

yeah they burned 'em out 

well i'm not laying the blame 

on anybody alive today 

but the crimes and lies in history shout 

about the night the lights went out 

after endless heinous deeds 

no one was safe 

not a man or a laddie 

not a woman or a lassie 

with blooded cold steel hands 

they began 

to clear the highlands of their nobel clans 

well i'm not laying the blame 

on anybody alive today 

but the crimes and lies in history shout 

about the night the lights went out 

the night the lights went out in Scotland 

the night the lights went out 

yeah the night the lights 

the night the lights x2 

went out.
