Where hae ye been sae brankie-o? Where hae ye been sae braw, lad? Cam' ye by Killiecrankie-o? ch 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' Killiecrankie-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' Killiecrankie-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' Killiecrankie-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 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 the de'ils at Killiecrankie-o KEY C verse: C C F F C C G G-G7 C C F F F C F F F C chorus: C C-F F C C C G C C F F C G F C Background: Refers to battle in 1689, where winner, Graham of Claverhouse (Bonnie Dundee) was slain, ending Jacobite hopes. http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/127/schiehallion.html
