Child Ballads - Lyrics

1

As came by Fiddich-,
In May morning,
met Willie Mackintosh,
An dawning.

2

'Turn again, turn again,
Turn again, I bid ye;
If ye burn Auchindown,
Huntly will head ye.'

3

'Head , hang ,
That sall never me;
'll Auchindown
Before life leaves .'

4

As came by Auchindown,
In may morning,
Auchindown in bleeze,
An dawning.
* * * * *

5

Crawing, crawing,
For my crowse crawing,
lost best i my wing
For my crowse crawing.

1	As I came in by Fiddich-side, In a May morning, I met Willie Mackintosh, An hour before the dawning.
2	'Turn again, turn again, Turn again, I bid ye; If ye burn Auchindown, Huntly he will head ye.'
3	'Head me, hang me, That sall never fear me; I'll burn Auchindown Before the life leaves me.'
4	As I came in by Auchindown, In a may morning, Auchindown was in a bleeze, An hour before the dawning. * * * * *
5	Crawing, crawing, For my crowse crawing, I lost the best feather i my wing For my crowse crawing.
