[Verse 1]
Am G As I cam’ in by Auchendoon, just a wee bit fae the toon, C Em Am Em Am Em Am Tae the Hielands I was bound, tae view the Haughs o’ Cromdale, Am G I met a man in tartan trews, speired at him what was the news, Am G Am Quo’ he, The Hieland army rues that e’er we cam’ tae Cromdale.
[Verse 2]
Am G We were in bed, sir, every man, when the English host upon us cam’; C Em Am Em Am Em Am A bloody battle then began, upon the Haughs o’Cromdale. Am G The English horse they were sae rude, they bathed their hooves in hielan’ blood, Am G Am But oor brave clans they boldly stood, upon the Haughs o’ Cromdale.
[Verse 3]
Am G But, alas, we could no longer stay, and o’er the hills we cam’ away, C Em Am Em Am Em Am Sair we did lament the day, that e’er we cam’ to Cromdale. Am G Thus the great Montrose did say, “Hielan’ man show me the way, Am G Am We will o’er the hills this day, tae view the Haughs o’ Cromdale.

Am G The Gordons boldly did advance, the Frasers fought with sword and lance, Am G Am The Grahams they made the heads to dance, upon the Haughs o’ Cromdale.
[Verse 6]
Am G Then the loyal Stewarts wi’ Montrose, so boldly set upon their foes, C Em Am Em Am Em Am Laid them low wi’ Highland blows, laid them low on Cromdale.
