[N] There is an old [A] Celtic belief that when a man dies in [D] a foreign land, his spirit [Ab] returns via the low road.
In [Eb] 1745, two Scottish soldiers were made captive in Carlisle, [Ab] one of whom was to be set free, [G] the other executed.
It is the condemned man [F] who will return to Scotland by way of the [Fm] low road of death,
[D] and reach Loch Lomond before his friend, who must travel the earthly high road.
