The English General he did say,
We'll give the Highland Lads fair play,
We’ll sound our trumpets and gave huzza.
And waken them at Crumdel.Sing, &c.

Says Livingston I hold it best,
To catch them lurking in their nest,
The Highland Lads we will distress,
And hough them down at Crumdel.Sing, &c.

So they were in bed. Sir every one.
when the English army on them came,
And a bloody battle soon began,
Upon the Haughs of Crumdel. Sing &c.

The English horse they were so rude
They bath'd their hooves in Highland blood.
Our noble clans most firmly stood,
Upon the Haugh of Crumdel.Sing &c

But our noble Clans they could not stay
Out over the hills they ran away
And sore they do lament the day
That ever they came to CrumdelSing &c

Says great Montrose I must not stay
wilt thou direct the nearest way
Over the hill I'll go this day
And see the Haughs of Crumdel Sing &c
