On the Gbraes o' KDilliecCrankieG-o

At Ghame I fought my auntiDe-o
But I Gmet the Devil Cand Dundee
On the Gbraes o' DKillieCcrankie-Go

(In some recordings the last two verses are played/sung back-to-back with no chorus in-between,
followed by two choruses to finish off but it's really up to you)
