	Story Behind the Song The Burning of Auchindoon: The Earl of Morray's men burned the Earl of Huntley's estate at Auchindoon. Later, Huntley's men killed the Earl of Morray. Tit for tat. Note: the dissonance at the end of the verse is intentional. Follow Me Up to Carlow This song celebrates one of the few victories of the Irish army over the English, at Carlow. Lyrics The Burning of Auchindoon As I came in by fiddich side on a May morning I spied Willy MacIntosh an hour before the dawning "Turn again, turn again. Turn again I bid ye. If you burn Auchindoon, Huntley he will head ye." "Head me or Hang me, that will never fear me. I will burn Auchindoon, 'ere the life leaves me." As I came in by fiddich side, on a May morning. Auchindoon was in a blaze, an hour before the dawning. "Crawin', crawin, for a' your crows crawin. Ye've burnt your crops and tint your wings, an hour before the dawning."
