Page images from James Hogg’s JACOBITE RELICS OF SCOTLAND (1819). Musical notation is supplied for the chorus: the full text of the song is also given:
Whare hae ye been sae braw, lad?
Whare hae ye been sae brankie, O?
Whare hae ye been sae braw, lad?
Came ye by Killiecrankie, O?
CHORUS:
An ye had been whare I hae been
Ye wadna been sae cantie, O;
An’ ye had seen what I hae seen,
I’ the braes o’ Killiecrankie, O
I faught at land, I faught at sea,
At hame I faught my auntie, O;
But I met the Devil and Dundee
On the braes o’ Killiecrankie, O
An ye had been, &c.
The bauld Pitcur fell in a furr,
And Clavers gat a clankie, O,
Or I had fed an Athol gled
On the braes o’ Killiecrankie, O.
An ye had been, &c.
Oh fie, Mackay, what gart ye lie
I’ the brush ayont the brankie, O?
Ye’d better kiss’d King Willie’s loof,
Than come to Killiecrankie, O.
It’s nae shame, it’s nae shame
It’s nae shame to shank ye, O;
There’s sour slaes on Athol braes,
And deils at Killiecrankie, O.
