Alex Campbell - Kissing in the dark

For lang I courted Jeannie and ^Cwroucht wi' micht and main To get a puckle ^Gsiller and a ^Abiggin' o' my ^Dain Ilka ^Gnicht I gaed to see her, be it ^Clate or be it mirk And when she comes to ^Gmeet me, I wid ^Dkiss her in the ^Gdark

The ^Ddark, the ^Gdark The dark, the ^Emdark, the ^Gdark Aye, and ^Cwhen she comes to ^Gmeet me I wid ^Dkiss her in the ^Gdark

Ae nicht I gaed to see her, thinking ^Cshe would be at hame I crept up tae the ^Gwindae and I ^Arattled at the ^Dpane Noo ^Goot comes Jeannie's mother and the ^Cnicht it bein' dark I took her in my ^Gairms, aye, and ^Dkissed her in the ^Gdark

The ^Ddark, the ^Gdark The dark, the ^Emdark, the ^Gdark Aye, I ^Ctook her in my ^Gairms And I ^Dkissed her in the ^Gdark

She ruggit and she tuggit and she ^Ctried to won awa' I held her aye the ^Gcloser and ^Agid her idder ^Dtwa Then ^Goot she burst a-laffin, sayin', "^CThis is afa wark Tae touzle an auld ^Gbody, aye, tae ^Dkiss her in the ^Gdark"

The ^Ddark, the ^Gdark The dark, the ^Emdark, the ^Gdark Tae ^Ctouzle an auld ^Gbody Aye tae ^Dkiss her in the ^Gdark

Stane I made for runnin', but she ^Cheld me sure and fast "Ye need be in no ^Ghurry, lad, the ^Asecret's oot at ^Dlast ^GJeannie's doon at Auntie's and she'll ^Cget an awfu' start When I tell her how yer ^Gtouzled me and ^Dkissed me in the ^Gdark"

The ^Ddark, the ^Gdark The dark, the ^Emdark, the ^Gdark When I ^Ctell her how yer ^Gtouzled me And ^Dkissed me in the ^Gdark

I begged wi' Jeannie's mother till ^CJeannie she came hame She tell't a' the ^Gstory, which I ^Athocht an afa ^Dshame But ^Gnoo I've gotten Jeannie after ^Ca' my coortin' wark But there's few that lands sae ^Glucky wi' their ^Dkissin' in the ^Gdark

The ^Ddark, the ^Gdark The dark, the ^Emdark, the ^Gdark Though there's ^Cfew that lands sae ^Glucky Wi' their ^Dkissin' in the ^Gdark
