 Chorus.Sing tanteradel, tanteradel

Unto the Highlands I was bound,

To view the Haughs of Crumdel!

I met a man in tartan trews,

I spear'd at him what was the news?

Says he, The Highland army rues

That e'er they came to Crumdel. Sing,&c.

Lord Livingston rode fronfrom [sic] Inverness,

Our Highland Lads for to distress

And has brought us a unto disgrace.

the Haughs of Crumdel. Sing, &c.

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 lurkiug 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.
