Fiddichside from Wildfeuer by Wibora Wildfeuer

Fiddichside (Medley "The burning of Auchindoun" version by Drachenflug and "I am stretched on your grave" version by Kate Rusby)

I am stretched on your grave a e
And I'll lie here forever a e
If your hands were in mine a e
I'd be sure they would not sever a e
My apple tree, my brightness, a e
It's time we were together a G
For I smell by the Earth a G
And I'm worn by the weather. a G a

As I gaed doon by Fiddichside a G e
On a May mornin' a G e
I met wi' Willie Macintosh a G e
An 'oor before the dawnin' a G a

As I gaed doon by Fiddichside
On a May mornin'
Auchindoun was in a bleeze
an oor before the dawnin

Halle macharou huda hee a e
hal daba huda hal daba huda a e a e
halle macharou hou huda hee a d
o deco deco dandee a e a

When my family thinks / That I'm safely in my bed
Oh, from morn until night / I am stretched out at your head
Calling out unto the earth / With tears hot and wild
For the loss of a girl / That I loved as a child.

Do you remember the night /
Oh, the night when we were lost
In the shade of the blackthorn / And the touch of the frost?
Oh, and thanks to the mother / We did all that was right
And your maidenhead still / Is your pillar of light.

Turn again, turn again a G e
Turn again I beg ye a G e
If ye burn Auchindoun a G e
Huntly he will heid ye" a G a

"Heid me or hang me a d a
It will never grieve me
I will burn Auchindoun
Although the life 'ud leave me" a e a

"Crawin', crawin'
For a' yer crouse crawin'
Ye've burnt yer crops an' tint yer wings
An 'oor before the dawnin'

Halle macharou huda hee

Oh, the priests and the friars / They approach me in dread
Oh, for I love you still / Oh, my life, and you're dead
I still will be your shelter / Through rain and through storm
And with you in your cold grave / I cannot sleep warm

I am stretched on your grave / And I'll lie here forever
since in Auchindoun you died / but our bond it could not sever
Since a girl I was / I wanted you to be my wife
Now I mourn and I cry / for the flames they took your life
