‘Away with you, away with you, James de Grant!And, Douglas, ye'll be slain;
For Baddindalloch's at your gates,
With many brave Highland men.’
2
‘Baddindalloch has no feud at me,And I have none at him;
Cast up my gates baith broad and wide,
Let Baddindalloch in.’
3
‘James de Grant has made a vaunt,And leaped the castle-wa;
But, if he comes this way again,
He'll no win sae well awa.
4
‘Take him, take him, brave Gordons,O take him, fine fellows a'!
If he wins but ae mile to the Highland hills,
He'll defy you Gordons a'.’
