[00:10.11]	As I came in by Auchindoun
[00:12.67]	A little wee bit frae the town
[00:15.19]	When to the Highlands I was bound
[00:17.63]	To view the Haughs of Cromdale
[00:20.36]	I met a man in tartan trews
[00:22.78]	I spiered at him what was the news
[00:25.42]	Quo' he, "The Highland army rues
[00:27.82]	That e'er we came to Cromdale. "
[00:30.48]	We were in bed, sir, every man
[00:32.88]	When the English host upon us came
[00:35.65]	A bloody battle then began
[00:37.93]	Upon the Haughs of Cromdale
[00:40.80]	The English horse they were so rude
[00:43.16]	They bathed their hoofs in Highland blood
[00:45.84]	But our brave clans, they boldly stood
[00:48.28]	Upon the Haughs of Cromdale
[00:50.80]	"But, alas! We could no longer stay“
[00:53.39]	For o'er the hills we came away
[00:56.21]	And sore we do lament the day
[00:58.44]	That e'er we came to Cromdale."
[01:01.28]	Thus the great Montrose did say:
[01:03.60]	"Can you direct the nearest way?“
[01:06.34]	For I will o'er the hills this day
[01:08.64]	And view the Haughs of Cromdale."
[01:11.27]	"Alas, niy lord, you're not so strong“
[01:13.84]	You scarcely have two thousand men
[01:16.48]	And there's twenty-thousand on the plain
[01:18.83]	Stand rank and file on Cromdale."
[01:21.67]	Thus the great Montrose did say,
[01:24.04]	"I say, direct the nearest way“
[01:26.73]	For I will o'er the hills this day
[01:29.06]	And see the Haughs of Cromdale."
[01:52.24]	They were at dinner, every man
[01:54.51]	When the great Montrose upon them came
[01:57.27]	A second battle then began
[01:59.63]	Upon the Haughs of Cromdale
[02:02.43]	The Grant, Mackenzie and M'Ky
[02:04.92]	Soon as Montrose they did espy
[02:07.63]	O then they fought most valiantly
[02:10.02]	Upon the Haughs of Cromdale
[02:12.59]	The M'Donalds they returned again
[02:15.02]	The Camerons did their standard join
[02:17.80]	M'Intosh played a bloody game
[02:20.25]	Upon the Haughs of Cromdale
[02:22.88]	The M'Gregors fought like lions bold
[02:25.31]	M'Phersons, none could them control
[02:28.08]	M'Lauchlins fought, like loyal souls
[02:30.38]	Upon the Haughs of Cromdale
[02:33.06]	M'Leans, M'Dougals, and M'Neils
[02:35.68]	So boldly as they took the field
[02:38.24]	And made their enemies to yield
[02:40.62]	Upon the Haughs of Cromdale
[02:43.32]	The Gordons boldly did advance
[02:45.75]	The Frasers fought with sword and lance
[02:48.43]	The Grahams they made the heads to dance
[02:50.81]	Upon the Haughs of Cromdale
[02:53.66]	The loyal Stewarts, with Montrose
[02:56.06]	So boldly set upon their foes
[02:58.75]	And brought them down with Highland blows
[03:01.31]	Upon the Haughs of Cromdale
[03:03.81]	Of twenty-thousand Cromwell's men
[03:06.21]	Five-hundred fled to Aberdeen
[03:08.89]	The rest of them lie on the plain
[03:13.10]	Upon the Haughs of Cromdale

[00:10.11]	As I came in by Auchindoun
