Lyrics:
As I cam in by Auchendoun just a wee bit fae the toon Tae the Hielands I was bound tae view the Haughs o' Cromdale I met a man in tartan trews spiered at him what was the news Quo' he, “The Hieland army rues that e'er we cam tae Cromdale
We were at diner every man when the English host upon us cam A bloody battle then began upon the Haughs o' Cromdale The English horse they were sae rude bathed their hooves in hielan' blood But oor brave clans they boldly stood upon the Haughs o' Cromdale
But alas we could no longer stay and o'er the hills we cam' away Sair did we lament the day that e'er we cam tae Cromdale Thus the great Montrose did say Hielan' Man show me the way We will o'er the hills this day tae view the Haughs o' Cromdale
They were at dinner every man when great Montrose upon them cam' A second battle then began upon the Haughs o' Cromdale The Great McKenzie and Mackay as Montrose they did espy Then they fought most valiantly upon the Haughs o' Cromdale
The MacDonalds they returned again the Camerons did their standards join McKintosh played a bloody game upon the Haughs o' Cromdale The Gordons boldly did advance the Frasers fought with sword and lance The Grahams they made the heids tae dance upon the Haughs o' Cromdale
Then the loyal Stewarts wi' Montrose so bodily set upon their foes Laid them low wi' Hieland blows upon the Haughs o' Cromdale Of thirty thousand Cromwell's men a thousand fled tae Aberdeen The rest o' them lie on the plain upon the Haughs o' Cromdale
