Where hae ye been sae braw, lad? Where hae ye been sae brankie-o? Where hae ye been sae braw, lad? Cam' ye by k**iecrankie-o? 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' k**iecrankie-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' k**iecrankie-o
The bauld pitcur fell in a furr And Clavers gat a clankie-o Or I had fed an Athol gled On the braes o' k**iecrankie-o 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 k**iecrankie-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 the de'ils at k**iecrankie-o
