Where hae ye been sae braw, lad?
Where hae ye been sae brankie-o?
Where hae ye been sae braw, lad?
Cam' ye by Killiecrankie-o?

Chorus
An' ye had been Where I hae been,
Ye wadna been sae cantie-o,
An' ye had seen what I hae seen,
On the braes o' Killiecrankie-o.

I fought at land, I fought at sea,
At hame I fought my auntie-o,
But I met the Devil and Dundee,
On the braes o' Killiecrankie-o.

Chorus

Oh fie, MacKay, What gart ye lie,
I' the brush ayont the brankie-o?
Ye'd better kiss'd King Willie's loff,
Than come tae Killiecrankie-o.

Chorus

The bauld pitcur fell in a furr,
And Clavers gat a crankie-o,
Or I had fed an Athol gled,
On the braes o' Killiecrankie-o.

Chorus

It's nae shame, it's nae shame,
It's nae shame to shank ye-o,
There's sour slaes on Athol braes,
And the de'ils at Killiecrankie-o.
