The Braes of Killiecrankie Songtext
von The Corries

Where hae ye been sae braw, lad?
Whare hae ye been sae brankie [1],
Whare hae ye been sae braw, lad?
Cam ye by Killiecrankie, O?

An [2] ye had been whare I hae been,
Ye wad na been sae cantie [3], O;
An ye had seen what I hae seen,
On the Braes o′ Killiecrankie, O.


I faught at land, I faught at sea,
At hame I faught my Auntie [4], O;
But I met the devil an' Dundee,
On the Braes o′ Killiecrankie, O.

The bauld Pitcur [5] fell in a furr [6],
An' Clavers [7] gat a clankie [8], O;
Or I had fed an Athole [9] gled [10],
On the Braes o' Killiecrankie, O.

O fie, Mackay [11], what gart [12] ye lie
I′ the bush ayont the brankie [13] -O?
Ye′s better kiss'd King Willie′s loof [1]
Than come to Killicrankie-O


It's nae shame, it′s nae shame
It's nae shame to shank [15] ye-O
There′s sour slaes [16] on Athol Braes
And de'ils at Killicrankie-O.
