Cara Dillon - Donald Of Glencoe
[INTRO:]    C    F      C    F  C  
[VERSE 1:]
As I was a-walking one Fevening of Clate
Where fragrant fine flowers, the Ffield decoCrate
I carelessly rambled where FI did not Cknow
By the fair crystal fountain that Ffalls in GlenCcoe
[VERSE 2:]
And on her who the prize on Mount FIder was Cwon
Then approached me, a lassie as Fbright as the Csun
And the ribbon and the tartan aFround her did Cflow
That welcomed young Donald, the Fpride of GlenCcoe
[VERSE 3:]
Said I, "My fine creature, your Fcharming sweet Csmile
And your comely fine features, my Fheart has beCguiled
And with your kind affection, on Fme you'll beCstow
I'll bless the happy hour we Fmet in GlenCcoe"
[VERSE 4:]
"Kind sir", she made answer, "Your Flove I'll disCdain
For I have a young sweetheart and FDonald by Cname
And he went to the wars about Ften years aCgo
And a maid I remain 'til he reFturns to GlenCcoe"
[INSTRUMENTAL:]  (same as verse)
[VERSE 5:]
"Ah, perhaps your young Donald reFgards not your Cname
And has placed his affection on Fsome foreign Cdame
He may have forgotten, for Fall that you Cknow
That bonny young creature he Fleft in GlenCcoe"
[VERSE 6:]
"From his promise, my Donald, would Fnever deCpart
For love, truth and honour stand Ffirm in his Cheart
And if I never see him, then Fsingle I'll Cgo
And mourn for my Donald, the Fpride of GlenCcoe"
[INSTRUMENTAL:]  (same as verse)
[VERSE 7:]
Then seeing her constance, he Fdrew out a Cglove
Which in parting she gave him in Ftoken of Clove
She clung to his arms then and the Ftears down did Cflow
"Ah, you're welcomed my Donald, the Fpride of GlenCcoe"
[VERSE 8:]
"Come, cheer up my Flora, your Fsorrows are Co'er
And since we have met, love, we'll Fnever part Cmore
And the loud blast of battle, far Fdistant may Cblow
Whilst in peace and contentment, we'll Flive in GlenCcoe"

C F C F C

[INTRO:]

[VERSE 1:]

F C

As I was a-walking one evening of late

F C

Where fragrant fine flowers, the field decorate

F C

I carelessly rambled where I did not know

F C

By the fair crystal fountain that falls in Glencoe

[VERSE 2:]

F C

And on her who the prize on Mount Ider was won

F C

Then approached me, a lassie as bright as the sun

F C

And the ribbon and the tartan around her did flow

F C

That welcomed young Donald, the pride of Glencoe

[VERSE 3:]

F C

Said I, "My fine creature, your charming sweet smile

F C

And your comely fine features, my heart has beguiled

F C

And with your kind affection, on me you'll bestow

F C

I'll bless the happy hour we met in Glencoe"

[VERSE 4:]

F C

"Kind sir", she made answer, "Your love I'll disdain

For I have a young sweetheart and Donald by name

And he went to the wars about ten years ago

F C

And a maid I remain 'til he returns to Glencoe"

[INSTRUMENTAL:] (same as verse)

"Ah, perhaps your young Donald regards not your name

And has placed his affection on some foreign dame

He may have forgotten, for all that you know

That bonny young creature he left in Glencoe"

"From his promise, my Donald, would never depart

For love, truth and honour stand firm in his heart

And mourn for my Donald, the pride of Glencoe"

Then seeing her constance, he drew out a glove
