THE HAWS OF CROMDALE.
As I came in by Achendown.
A little wee bit frae the town,
When to the highlande I was boun',
Upon the haws of Cromdale.
I met a man in tartan trews,
I spier'd at him what was the news;
Quoth he, The highland army rues
That e'er we came to Cromdale.
We were in bed sir, every man,
When the English army on us came,
A blood battle then began,
Upon the haws of Cromdale.
The English horse thay were so rude,
They bath'd their hoofs n highland blood,
But our brave clans they boldly stood,
Upon the haws of Cromdale.
But alas we could no longer stay,
For o'er the hills we came away,
