Loading...

and cam’ ye frae the hielans man
cam’ ye a’ the wey?
saw ye macdonald and a’ his men
as they cam’ in frae skye?

wey a diddum a*do and a dree and a drum
diddum de*droo drum drae

and cam’ ye near and near eneuch
did ye their numbers see?
come tell to me john hielanman
what might their numbers be?

wey a diddum a*do and a dree and a drum
diddum de*droo drum drae

well i cam’ in by the garioch land
doon by nether ha’
i saw macdonald and a’ his men
a*marching tae harlaw

wey a diddum a*do and a dree and a drum
diddum de*droo drum drae

the hielanmen with their long swords
fell in at us fu’ sair
and they drave back wir lawlanmen
three acres breadth or mair
wey a diddum a*do and a dree and a drum
diddum de*droo drum drae

lord forbes tae his brother did say:
“o, brother, dinnaye see?
they’ve drave us back on ilka side
and we’ll be forced tae flee!”

wey a diddum a*do and a dree and a drum
diddum de*droo drum drae

“oh no, no, no, my brother dear
this thing it maunna’ be
ye’ll tak yer guid sword in yer haun’
an’ ye’ll gan’ in wi’ me!”

wey a diddum a*do and a dree and a drum
diddum de*droo drum drae

the first blow that lord forbes struck
the sword ran in, in hale
the second blow lord forbes struck
the great macdonald fell

wey a diddum a*do and a dree and a drum
diddum de*droo drum drae
sic a cry frae among the hielanmen
when ye see their leader fa’
they cairtit him and buirit him
along by fair harlaw

wey a diddum a*do and a dree and a drum
diddum de*droo drum drae

[instrumental]

gin anyun’ should spier at ye
for them that’s gone awa’
just tell them plain an’ unco plain
they’re sleepin’ at harlaw

wey a diddum a*do and a dree and a drum
diddum de*droo drum drae
wey a diddum a*do and a dree and a drum
diddum de*droo drum drae
