findlay napier & the bar room mountaineers - the battle of corrymuckloch lyrics

[verse 1]
december on the twenty first
a party o wir scottish grays
gaed up among oor mountaineers
some whisky from them for tae seize
wi sword and pistol by their side
they thocht tae mak a bold attack
aw they wanted was tae seize
was donald wi his smuggled drap

[verse 2]
the gauger and his grays cam on
and they poor donald did suroon
he said, “your whisky i maun seize
by virtue o the british croun,”
“hoot toot!” quo donald, “naw sae fast
ye ken the whisky is her nain
she fears na you nor your gray horse
nor yet yer muckle bearded mеn.”

[chorus]
dirrim a dou a dou a do
dirrim a dou a daddie+o
and aw they wanted was taе seize
was donald wi his smuggled drap
[verse 3]
then donald and his men drew up
and donald, he did gie command
and aw the arms poor donald had
was but a stick in ilka hand
when donald and his boys drew up
a guid stane wall was at their back
when their sticks tae splinters went
wi stanes they made their bold attack

[chorus]
dirrim a dou a dou a do
dirrim a dou a daddie+o
and aw they wanted was tae seize
was donald wi his smuggled drap

[verse 4]
and ere the action it was ower
there fell a horseman on the plain
quo sandy unto donald syne
“ye’ve k!lled ane o the bearded men,”
but he gat up an left his horse
and aff tae amurlee he flew
left the rest tae dae their best
as they had done at waterloo
[verse 5]
but donald and his men stuck fast
and gart the beardies quit the field
the gauger he wis thumpit weel
afore his pride wad let him yield
then donald and his men cried oot
“ye filthy nasty gauger loun
if ye cam back, ye’ll ne’er win hame
tae see your auchterarder toun

[chorus]
dirrim a dou a dou a do
dirrim a dou a daddie+o
and aw they wanted was tae seize
was donald wi his smuggled drap
dirrim a dou a daddie+o
and aw they wanted was tae seize
was donald wi his smuggled drap
