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 fron Inverness,
Our Highland Lads for to distress
And has brought us a unto disgrace.
Upon 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.
