Killiecrankie

Whare hae ye been sae braw, lad?
Whare hae ye been sae brankie-O?
Whare hae ye been sae braw, lad
Cam ye by Killicrankie-O?

Chorus
An had ye been where I hae been
Ye wad-na been sae cantie-O
An ye had seen what I hae seen
I' the braes o' Killicrankie-O.

I faught at land, I faught at sea
At hame I faught my auntie-O
But I met the devil and Dundee
On the braes o' Killicrankie-O.

The bauld Pitcur fell in a furr
The Clavers got a clankie-O
Or I had fed an Athol gled
On the braes o' Killicrankie-O.

O fie, Mackay, what gart ye lie
I' the bush ayont the brankie-O
Ye's better kiss'd King Willie's loof
Than come to Killicrankie-O

It's nae shame, it's nae shame
It's nae shame to shank ye-O
There's sour slaes on Athol Braes
And deils at Killicrankie-O.
