| |
| |
| WHERE hae ye been sae braw, lad? | |
| Whare hae ye been sae brankie, O? | |
| Whare hae ye been sae braw, lad? | |
| Cam ye by Killiecrankie, O? | |
| |
| Chorus.—An ye had been whare I hae been, | 5 |
| Ye wad na been sae cantie, O; | |
| An ye had seen what I hae seen, | |
| I’ the Braes o’ Killiecrankie, O. | |
| |
| I faught at land, I faught at sea, | |
| At hame I faught my Auntie, O; | 10 |
| But I met the devil an’ Dundee, | |
| On the Braes o’ Killiecrankie, O. | |
| An ye had been, &c. | |
| |
| The bauld Pitcur fell in a furr, | |
| An’ Clavers gat a clankie, O; | 15 |
| Or I had fed an Athole gled, | |
| On the Braes o’ Killiecrankie, O. | |
| An ye had been, &c. | |
