Clan Moffat

The great Moffat Clan

Lived upon border land,

By the Bruce’s own hand, deeded

Plagued by their neighbor--

--rough-footed behavior--

Dogs (Citation Needed)

Of a bishop descended

War campaign splendid

Arms marked by the crosses of heaven

They were locked in their church

Burning flesh, burning birch

(Dead Link as of 1557)

For the next 50 years

Growing more in arrears

The rights of the Moffat land ceded

Bought piece by piece

By their old enemies

Murderers (Citation Needed)

Moffat bairns learn

How they stormed Bannockburn

How they rode on their horses so fine

By river and lock

The auld Lairds of Knock

(DeadLink as of 1609)
