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 
Speired at him what was the news 
Quo' he, "The Hieland army rues 
That e'er we cam to Cromdale" 

We were in bed sir every man 
When the Engligh host upon us cam 
A bloody battle then began 
Upon the Haughs o' Cromdale 
The English horse they were sae rude 
They 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 we did lament that day 
That e'er we cam' tae Cromdale 
Thus the great Montrose did say 
Hielan' Man show me the way 
I will over the hills this day 
To 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 Grant, Mackenzie 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 
MacIntosh 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 boldly set upon their foes 
Laid them low wi' Hieland blows 
Played them all on Cromdale 
Of twenty thousand Cromwell's men 
A thousand fled tae Aberdeen 
The rest o' them lie on the plain 
There on the Haughs o' Cromdale
