| 348. Song—I hae been at Crookieden |
| |
| |
| I HAE been at Crookieden, | |
| My bonie laddie, Highland laddie, | |
| Viewing Willie and his men, | |
| My bonie laddie, Highland laddie. | |
| There our foes that burnt and slew, | 5 |
| My bonie laddie, Highland laddie, | |
| There, at last, they gat their due, | |
| My bonie laddie, Highland laddie. | |
| |
| Satan sits in his black neuk, | |
| My bonie laddie, Highland laddie, | 10 |
| Breaking sticks to roast the Duke, | |
| My bonie laddie, Highland laddie, | |
| The bloody monster gae a yell, | |
| My bonie laddie, Highland laddie. | |
| And loud the laugh gied round a’ hell | 15 |
| My bonie laddie, Highland laddie. | |
