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
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
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
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)
