	Story Behind the Song a little am riff, the idea, the craw, a kid caught up in the need to fight. Lyrics Sweet 18 off in to battle he joined the line as they cleared the glen Sweet 18 off in to battle he crossed the burn and he joined the men As the Craw sat high on the dyke As the gale of wind blew all night As the hag with the second sight Said its not right its not right its not right Word came down from the chieftains table 100 young men should join the cause they should fight for family they should fight for freedom they should fight for his share of the big reward As the Craw sat high on the dyke As the gale of wind blew all night As the hag with the second sight Said its not right its not right its not right Word was slow but we heard there had been slaughter weeping and wailing filled the glen and in the funeral fire that lit the night I saw sweet 18 once again As the craw sat high on the dyke as the gale of wing blew all night as the hag with the second sight said its not right its not right its not right its not right its not right its not right
