GUEST,Jiggers Any May songs? (362* d) RE: Any May songs? 04 May 21


The Burning of Auchindoon (alt spelling Auchindoun), is on my Silly Sisters CD and is sung by June Tabor and Maddy Prior.

As I came in by Fiddich side on a May morning
I spied Willie Macintosh an hour before the dawning

“Turn again, him again, turn again I bid ye
If ye burn Auchindoon, Huntly he will head ye.”

“Head me or hang me that will never fear me
I will burn Auchindoon ere the life leaves me.”

As I came in by Fiddich side on a May morning
Auchindoon was in a blaze an hour before the dawning

Crawing, crawing, for all your crowse crawing
You've burnt your crops and tint your wings
An hour before the dawning

Thanks GUEST,Jiggers here below are some recordings of your song
