Haughs Of Cromdale - Fiddler's Green[00:00:01]
As I came in by Achindoon just a wee bit from the town [00:00:11]
To the Highlands I was bound to view the haughs of Cromdale[00:00:15]
I met a man in tartan trews I spiered at him what was the news[00:00:20]
Says he: "The Highland army rues that ever we came to Cromdale"[00:00:24]
"We were in bed sir every man when the English host upon us came[00:00:29]
A bloody battle then began upon the haughs of Cromdale[00:00:33]
The English horse they were so rude [00:00:38]
They bathed their hoofs in Highland blood[00:00:40]
But every clan so boldly stood upon the haughs of Cromdale"[00:00:42]
"But alas we could no longer stay for over the hills we came away[00:00:47]
And sore we do lament the day that ever we came to Cromdale"[00:00:51]
Thus the great Montrose did say: " Highland man show me the way [00:00:56]
For I will over the hills this day and I'll view the haughs of Cromdale"[00:01:00]
"But alas my Lord you're not so strong [00:01:05]
You scarcely have two thousand man[00:01:07]
There's twenty thousand on the plain[00:01:09]
Stand rank and file on Cromdale"[00:01:11]
Thus the great Montrose did say: "Highland man show me the way [00:01:14]
For I will over the hills this day and I'll view the haughs of Cromdale"[00:01:18]
They were at dinner every man[00:01:41]
When the great Montrose upon them came[00:01:43]
A second battle then began upon the haughs of Cromdale[00:01:45]
The Grant Mackenzie and M'ky soon as[00:01:50]
Montrose they did espy[00:01:52]
Oh then they fought most valiantly upon the haughs Of Cromdale[00:01:54]
The McDonalds they returned again [00:01:59]
The Camerons did their their standard join [00:02:01]
Macintosh played a bloody game upon the haughs Of Cromdale[00:02:03]
The MacGregors fought like lions bold [00:02:08]
MacPhersons none could them control [00:02:10]
MacLoughlins fought like loyal souls upon the haughs Of Cromdale[00:02:12]
"Well I don't care who's wrong or right[00:02:17]
Cause men will die in any fight[00:02:19]
Can't stand the clashing of the swords upon the haughs of Cromdale[00:02:21]
Every night I see the dead the corpses still inside my head[00:02:26]
Can't find no peace cause blood was shed[00:02:30]
There on the haughs of Cromdale"[00:02:34]
