Clash of the Ash - Runrig

Hey now boys there’s something not right

Did anyone see Willy at the dance last night

Let’s pick up Boa without a fuss

Chuck him in with the camans at the back of the bus

'cause we’re running late it’s way past ten

We’re driving through the straths and glens

Come on, Johnny Bulla, make it fast

For the twelve noon throw-up and the clash of the ash

Well we’d better make changes now it seems

Geek to the centre

Weed to the wing

The Rocket’s old and slow and due to retire

Stick him right on the sawdust ready to fire

And if we do all that and there’s no one spare

Tell me who’s gonna mark the Kinlochshiel Bear

He’s hard as nails, quick as a flash

He comes down from the caves for the clash of the ash

This story started long ago

With heroes forged and legends told

And for every fighting highland man

Stand by your brother, die for the clan

Well when the whistle blows and the battle’s done

These shinty boys shine like the sun

We don’t play for fame, we don’t play for cash

We just play for the glory and the clash of the ash
