Haughs Of Cromdale |
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» |
Narrator: |
They were at dinner, every man when the great Montrose upon them came |
A second battle then began upon the haughs of Cromdale |
The Grant, Mackenzie and M’ky, soon as Montrose they did espy |
Oh then they fought most valiantly upon the haughs Of Cromdale |
The McDonalds they returned again, the Camerons did their their standard join |
Macintosh played a bloody game upon the haughs Of Cromdale |
The MacGregors fought like lions bold, MacPhersons none could them control |
MacLoughlins fought like loyal souls upon the haughs Of Cromdale |
Survivor: |
«Well, I don’t care who’s wrong or right |
Cause men will die in any fight |
Can’t stand the clashing of the swords upon the haughs of Cromdale |
Every night I see the dead, the corpses still inside my head |
Can’t find no peace cause blood was shed |
There on the haughs of Cromdale» |
