As I come in by Auchindoun
Just a wee bit frae the toun
To the Hi'lands I was bound
To view the Haughs of Cromdale
I met a man in tartan trews
Spiered at him (asked) what was the news
Quo' he, "The Hi'land army rues
That e'er we come to Cromdale
"We were in bed, sir, every man
When the English host upon us cam;
A bloody battle then began
Upon the Haughs of Cromdale
The English horse they were so rude
They bathed their hoofs in Hi'land blood
But our brave clans, they boldly stood
Upon the Haughs of Cromdale
"But, alas! We could no longer stay
And o'er the hills we come away
Sore we do lament the day
That e"er we come to Cromdale."
T
Hus the great Montrose did say:
Hi'land man show me the way
I will over the hills this day
To view the Haughs of Cromdale."
