I've never heard any Gaelic verses to this song and I understand from the only two verses I know that Willie MacIntosh decided to burn Huntly's house, Auchendoun, irrespective as to what might happen to him. Someone (McIntosh?) is saying '..for all your bold boasting, you've burnt your crop and lost your wing ..', using a bird as an analogy. I suppose because McIntosh hated Huntly so much he's revelling in revenge? I don't know the story behind this song but I'm sure someone will post it.
