My One And Only Highland Fling |
Though we’re called a people of serious mind, |
'Tis often we dance, 'tis often we sing. |
And bein' as human as all human-kind, |
We aren’t superior to havin' a fling. |
I’m taking the fling of a lifetime. |
The fling of a husband and wife-time. |
A-when I a-went romancing |
I a-gave no thought to any wedding ring. |
Every bonnie lassie was |
My highland fling. |
A-no chance was I chancing |
I' a-m not the man ya dangle on a string. |
I was canny waitin' for the |
Real, real thing. |
A-though I danced each girl in a twist and a-twirl |
Ney one would do. |
And I went a-my way 'til the fatal day |
In the fling I was flung a-with you. |
Oh |
Now my heart is prancin' |
A-gay as a lark and happy as a king. |
The years I’ll weather, in the hame on the heather, |
With my one and only highland fling. |
I thought you were fallin' for Andy MacPherson. |
Ney, ney. |
He became an impossible person. |
But what about you and that Connie MacKenzie? |
She talked when I putted and drove me to frenzie. |
But what of the lad known as Bobby MacDougal? |
It pays to be thrifty, but he was too frugal. |
And weren’t ya daft about Megan McDerrmot? |
I tasted her cooking. |
T’would make me a hermit. |
How jealous I was of McDonald McCutcheon. |
His neck had a head on, but there wasn’t much in. |
And what about Sandy? |
His hands were too handy. |
And wasn’t there a Jenny? |
I’m not wantin' any |
I’m not wantin' any but you. |
When I went a-dancin' |
No special lad I was encouragin'. |
Every lackly laddie was |
My highland fling. |
No glance I was glancin'. |
Well, nothin' really worth a-mentionin'. |
Hopin', watchin', waitin' for the |
Real, real thing. |
Though they spoke me soft in the moonlit oft', |
Ney one would do. |
'Til it came to pass to this lucky lass |
In a fling I was flung with you. |
Oh |
Now my heart is prancin'. |
Nothin' about ya I’d be alterin'. |
The years I’ll weather, in the hame on the heather, |
With me one and only highland fling. |
