Haughs Of Cromdale Fiddler's Green

Narrator:
As I came in by Achindoon just a wee bit from the town
To the Highlands I was bound to view the haughs of Cromdale
I met a man in tartan trews, I spiered at him what was the news
Says he: "The Highland army rues that ever we came to Cromdale"

Highland Man:
"We were in bed, sir, every man, when the English host upon us came
A bloody battle then began upon the haughs of Cromdale
The English horse they were so rude
They bathed their hoofs in Highland blood
But every clan so boldly stood upon the haughs of Cromdale"

"But alas we could no longer stay for over the hills we came away
And sore we do lament the day that ever we came to Cromdale"
Thus the great Montrose did say: " Highland man, show me the way!
For I will over the hills this day and I'll view the haughs of Cromdale"

Highland Man:
"But alas my Lord you're not so strong
You scarcely have two thousand man
There's twenty thousand on the plain
Stand rank and file on Cromdale"
Thus the great Montrose did say: "Highland man, show me the way!
For I will over the hills this day and I'll view the haughs of Cromdale"
