The Road To Dundee |
Cauld winter was howlin' o’er moor and o’er mountain |
Wild was the surge on the dark rolling sea, |
When I met about daybreak a bonnie young lassie, |
Wha asked me the road and the miles to Dundee. |
Says I, «My young lassie, I canna' weel tell ye The road and the distance I canna' weel gie. |
But if you’ll permit me tae gang a wee bittie, |
I’ll show ye the road and the miles to Dundee». |
At once she consented and gave me her arm, |
Ne’er a word did I speir wha the lassie might be, |
She appeared like an angel in feature and form, |
As she walked by my side on the road to Dundee. |
At length wi' the Howe o' Strathmartine behind us, |
The spires o' the toon in full view we could see, |
She said «Gentle Sir, I’ll never forget ye For showing me so far on the road to Dundee». |
So I took the gowd pin from the scarf on my bosom |
-And said «Keep ye this in remembrance 0' me Then bravely I kissed the sweet lips o' the lassie, |
E’er I parted wi' her on the road to Dundee. |
So here’s to the lassie, I ne’er forget her, |
And lika young laddie that’s listening to me, |
O never be sweer to convoy a young lassie |
Though it’s only to show her the road to Dundee. |
