written in 1790

Whare 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? An ye had been whare I hae been, Ye wad na been sae cantie O; An ye had seen what I hae seen, I'th' braes o' Killiecrankie O. I faught at land, I faught at sea, At hame I faught my Auntie, O; But I met the Devil and Dundee On th' braes o' Killiecrankie, O. An ye had been whare I hae been, Ye wad na been sae cantie O; An ye had seen what I hae seen, I'th' braes o' Killiecrankie O. The bauld Pitcur fell in a furr, An' Clavers gat a clankie, O; Or I had fed an Athole Gled On th' braes o' Killiecrankie, O. An ye had been whare I hae been, Ye wad na been sae cantie O; An ye had seen what I hae seen, I'th' braes o' Killiecrankie O.
