The Burning Of Auchindoun
Traditional (Gallowglass version of lyrics)

1 & CHORUS] When will my love come to me Over land and over sea? Will he be the one for me? Oh decko decko dandy... Halamacha-doo hoo-ra-bhi Oh hoo-rabha-hina, hoo-rabha hina Halamacha-doo hoo-ra-bhi Oh decko decko dandy... 2] As I cam' in by Fiddichside, on a May morning I spied Willie MacIntosh an hour before the dawning. Turn again, turn again, turn again, I bid ye. If ye burn Auchindoun, Huntley he will heid ye. 3] Heid me or hang me, that shall never fear me I'll burn Auchindoun though the life leaves me. 4] As I cam' in by Auchindoun on a May morning Auchindoun was in a blaze, an hour before the dawning. Crawing, crawing, for a' your crouse crawin', Ye burnt your crop an' tint your wings an hour before the dawning. 5 & CHORUS] When will my love come to me Will he come and will he see? Will he be the one for me? Oh decko decko dandy... Halamacha-doo hoo-ra-bhi Oh hoo-rabha-hina, hoo-rabha hina Halamacha-doo hoo-ra-bhi Oh decko decko dandy...
