Misc Traditional - Miles to dundee

Cold w^Dinter was turnin' o'er m^Goor and o'er m^Dountain And w^Gild was the s^Durge on the d^E7ark rollin' s^A7ea When I m^Det aboot daybreak a b^Gonnie young l^Dassie That ^Gasked me the r^Doad and the m^A7iles tae D^Dundee

I sa^Did, "My young lassie, I c^Ganna weel tell ^Dye The r^Goad and the d^Distance I ne'^E7er can weel g^A7auge But ^Dif ye'll permit me tae g^Gang a wee bi^Dttie I'll ^Gshow ye the ro^Dad and the mi^A7les tae Du^Dndee

At o^Dnce she consented and ga^Gve me her ai^Dr-m Nae a w^Gord did I spe^Dir wham that la^E7ssie might h^A7ear She a^Dppeared like an angel in fe^Gature and f^Dor-m As she wa^Glked by my s^Dide on the r^A7oad tae Du^Dndee

At l^Dength with the howe of S^Gtrathmartine b^Dehind us The sp^Gires o' the t^Doon in full v^E7iew we could ^A7see She s^Daid, "Gentle sir, I can nev^Ger forget y^De For sho^Gwin' me so f^Dar on the ro^A7ad tae Dun^Ddee.

This r^Ding and this purse please a^Gccept as a t^Doken And s^Gurely there's so^Dmethin' that ^E7ye can gi'e ^A7me, That ^Din years to come I'll the l^Gaddie reme^Dmber Who sho^Gwed me the r^Doad and the ^A7miles to D^Dundee?"

I to^Dok the gold pin frae the sc^Garf on my bo^Dsom, And s^Gaid, "Tak' ye th^Dis, in rememb^E7rance o' ^A7me", And b^Dravely I kissed the sweet l^Gips o' the l^Dassie Ere I p^Gairted wi' h^Der on the r^A7oad tae Du^Dndee

So h^Dere's tae the lassie, I ne^G'er will for^Dget her Tae i^Glk a young lad^Ddie that's li^E7st'nin' tae ^A7me Ne^Dver be sweir to con^Gvoy a young l^Dassie Though it's o^Gnly to sh^Dow her the ^A7road tae D^Dundee
