"The Campbells Are Coming" is a Scottish song associated with Clan Campbell.The tune, a traditional Scottish air, is similar to "The Town of Inveraray" (Scottish Gaelic: "Baile Ionaraora") ("I was at a wedding in the town of Inveraray / Most wretched of weddings, with nothing but shellfish..."; (Scottish Gaelic: "Bha mi air banias am Baile IIonaraora / Banais na bochdainn 's gun oirr' ach am maorach...")) and other Scottish songs, but with these martial lyrics:Chorus:The Campbells are coming Ho-Ro, Ho-Ro! (repeat)The Campbells are coming to bonnie Lochleven The Campbells are coming Ho-Ro, Ho-Ro!Verses:Upon the Lomonds I lay, I lay, (repeat)I lookit down to bonnie Lochleven And saw three perches play-hay-hay!The Great Argyll he goes before, He makes the cannons and guns to roar, With sound o'trumpet, pipe and drum, The Campbells are coming, Ho-Ro, Ho-Ro!The Campbells they are a' in arms, Their loyal faith and truth to show, With banners rattling in the wind, The Campbells are coming Ho-Ro, Ho-Ro!The song was definitely extant by 1745 and perhaps much earlier.
