Killiecrankie                                                                        Trad

 

Whaur hae ye been, sae braw lad

O Whaur hae ye been, sae brankie

O Whaur hae ye been, sae braw lad

Cam ye by Killiecrankie O

 

Chorus

 

An ye had been whaur I hae been

Ye wadna been sae cantie O

An ye had seen what I had seen

I' the braes O Killiecrankie O

 

Chorus

 

I fought at land, I fought at sea

At hame I fought my auntie

But I met the devil and Dundee

On the braes O Killiecrankie O

 

Chorus

 

The bauld pictur, fell in a furr

And Clavers gat a clankie

Or I had fed on Athol gled

On the braes O Killiecrankie

 

Chorus

 

Oh fie Mackay, what gart ye lie

I' the bush o' yonder the brankie

Ye'd better kiss King Willies loof

Than come to Killiecrankie O 

 

Chorus

 

It's nae shame, it's nae shame

There's na shame to swankie

There's sour slaes on Athol braes

And the deil's at Killiecrankie O

 

Chorus
