3 The English General he did say,

We'll give the Highland Lads fair play,

We’ll sound our trumpets and gave huzza.

And waken them at Crumdel.Sing, &c.

Says Livingston I hold it best,

To catch them lurking in their nest,

The Highland Lads we will distress,

And hough them down at Crumdel.Sing, &c.

So they were in bed. Sir every one.

when the English army on them came,

And a bloody battle soon began,

Upon the Haughs of Crumdel. Sing &c.

The English horse they were so rude

They bath'd their hooves in Highland blood.

Our noble clans most firmly stood,

Upon the Haugh of Crumdel.Sing &c

But our noble Clans they could not stay

Out over the hills they ran away

And sore they do lament the day

That ever they came to CrumdelSing &c

Says great Montrose I must not stay

wilt thou direct the nearest way

Over the hill I'll go this day

And see the Haughs of Crumdel Sing &c
