Auchindoun

As i cam' in by fiddichside on a may morning
I spied willie macintosh an hour before the dawning

As i cam' in by auchindoun on a may morning
Auchindoun was in a bleeze an hour before the dawning

Turn agin, turn agin, turn agin i bid ye
If ye burn auchindoun huntly he will heid ye

Halamachadoo hoo-ra-bhi
Oh hoo-rabha-hi-na hoo-rabha hin
Halamchadoo hoo-ra-bhi
Oh decko decko dandy

As i cam' in by fiddichside on a may morning
I spied willie macintosh an hour before the dawning

As i cam' in by auchindoun on a may morning
Auchindoun was in a bleeze an hour before the dawning

Heid me or hang me, that shall never fear me
I will burn auchindoun though the life leaves me

Halamachadoo hoo-ra-bhi
Oh hoo-rabha-hi-na hoo-rabha hin
Halamchadoo hoo-ra-bhi
Oh decko decko dandy

Heid me or hang me, that shall never fear me
I will burn auchindoun though the life leaves me

Halamachadoo hoo-ra-bhi
Oh hoo-rabha-hi-na hoo-rabha hin
Halamchadoo hoo-ra-bhi
Oh decko decko dandy

(crawin', crawin'
For a' your crouse crawin'
Ye brunt your crop an' tint your wings
An hour before the dawning)
