Will ye go to Sheriffmuir Bauld John o' Innisture There to see the noble Mar And his Heiland laddies A' the true men o' the north Angus, Huntly and Seaforth Scouring on tae cross the Forth With their white cockaddies There you'll see the banners flare There you'll hear the bagpipes rare And the trumpets' deadly blare Wi the cannon's rattle There you'll see the bauld MacCraws Cameron's and Clanranald's raws All the clans wi louds huzzahs Rushing tae the battle There you'll see the noble Whigs A' the heroes o' the brigs Raw hides and withered wigs Riding in array, man Ri'en hose and raggit hools Soor milk and girning ghouls Psalm beuks and cutty stools We'll see never mair, man Will ye go to Sheriffmuir Bauld John o' Innisture Sic a day and sic an oor ne'er was in the north, man Siccan sights there will be seen And gin some be nae mista'en Fragrant gales will come bedeen Frae the water o' Forth, man
