wey a diddum a-do and a dree and a drum
diddum de-droo drum drae

and cam’ ye near and near eneuch
did ye their numbers see?
come tell to me john hielanman
what might their numbers be?

wey a diddum a-do and a dree and a drum
diddum de-droo drum drae

well i cam’ in by the garioch land
doon by nether ha’
i saw macdonald and a’ his men
a-marching tae harlaw

wey a diddum a-do and a dree and a drum
diddum de-droo drum drae

the hielanmen with their long swords
fell in at us fu’ sair
and they drave back wir lawlanmen
three acres breadth or mair
wey a diddum a-do and a dree and a drum

lord forbes tae his brother did say:
“o, brother, dinnaye see?
they’ve drave us back on ilka side
and we’ll be forced tae flee!”

the sword ran in, in hale
the second blow lord forbes struck

diddum de-droo drum drae
sic a cry frae among the hielanmen
when ye see their leader fa’
they cairtit him and buirit him

for them that’s gone awa’
just tell them plain an’ unco plain

wey a diddum a-do and a dree and a drum
diddum de-droo drum drae
wey a diddum a-do and a dree and a drum
diddum de-droo drum drae
