The McCalmans - The Road and the Miles tae Dundee текст песни

Исполнитель: The McCalmans

альбом: Lost Tracks


Cauld winter was howlin' o'er moor and o'er mountain
And 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 tae Dundee
Said 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 you the road and the miles tae 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
And the spires o' the toon in full view we could see
She said, "Gentle Sir, I can never forget ye
For showing me so far on the road tae Dundee"
"This ring and this purse, take to prove I am grateful
And some simple token in trust you'll gie me
That in times to come, I'll the laddie remember
Wha showed me so far on the road tae Dundee"
I took the gowd ring from the scarf at my bosom
And I said, "Tak ye this in remembrance o' me"
Then gently I kissed the sweet lips o' the lassie
E'er I parted wi' her on the road tae Dundee
So here's tae the lassie, I ne'er can forget her
And ilka young laddie that's listening to me
And never be sweer tae convoy a young lassie
Though it's only to show her the road tae Dundee
