Oh, years ago I used to be the smartest chap as you would see The Prince of Wales he wanted me to go and join the army Now I'm turning old and frail, like a dog without a tail And it's all through Jane McPhail the lass o' Killiecrankie. Chorus: Too-ral-oo-ral-oo-ral-oo Fal-the duddle-al-the duddledy She's as sweet as honey-dew The lass o' Killiecrankie. Oh, one day I was 'cutting it fat', and as she passed I raised my hat And as her little nose was flat, I handed her my 'hankey' 'Jane,' said I 'You're looking smart, could you masticate a tart?' She smiled a smole near broke my heart - the lass o' Killiecrankie Chorus: Oh, may be I was acting rash, when I tried her waist to squash She said, 'Although you're on the mash, stop your hankey-pankey.' She said that married we would be, then she heaved a sigh, you see Then she heaved a brick at me, on the hills o' Killiecrankie. Chorus: Oh, I was kilted to the knee, 'Jock, my dear,' she said to me 'We'll sit down two hours or three,' said I, 'My darling, thank ye.' But very soon I changed my tune, for on a thistle I sat doon And I nearly jumped up to the moon on the hills o' Killiecrankie. Chorus: |
