[Verse 1]
Cold wDinter was turnin' o'er mGoor and o'er mDountain
And wGild was the sDurge on the dE7ark rollin' sA7ea
When I mDet aboot daybreak a bGonnie young lDassie
That Gasked me the rDoad and the mA7iles tae DDundee
[Verse 2]
I saDid, "My young lassie, I cGanna weel tell Dye
The rGoad and the dDistance I ne'E7er can weel gA7auge
But Dif ye'll permit me tae gGang a wee biDttie
I'll Gshow ye the roDad and the miA7les tae DuDndee
[Verse 3]
At oDnce she consented and gaGve me her aiDr-m
Nae a wGord did I speDir wham that laE7ssie might hA7ear
She aDppeared like an angel in feGature and fDor-m
As she waGlked by my sDide on the rA7oad tae DuDndee
[Verse 4]
At lDength with the howe of SGtrathmartine bDehind us
The spGires o' the tDoon in full vE7iew we could A7see
She sDaid, "Gentle sir, I can nevGer forget yDe
For shoGwin' me so fDar on the roA7ad tae DunDdee.
[Verse 5]
This rDing and this purse please aGccept as a tDoken
And sGurely there's soDmethin' that E7ye can gi'e A7me,
That Din years to come I'll the lGaddie remeDmber
Who shoGwed me the rDoad and the A7miles to DDundee?"
[Verse 6]
I toDok the gold pin frae the scGarf on my boDsom,
And sGaid, "Tak' ye thDis, in remembE7rance o' A7me",
And bDravely I kissed the sweet lGips o' the lDassie
Ere I pGairted wi' hDer on the rA7oad tae DuDndee
[Verse 7]
So hDere's tae the lassie, I neG'er will forDget her
Tae iGlk a young ladDdie that's liE7st'nin' tae A7me
NeDver be sweir to conGvoy a young lDassie
Though it's oGnly to shDow her the A7road tae DDundee

[Verse 1]

D G D

Cold winter was turnin' o'er moor and o'er mountain

G D E7 A7

And wild was the surge on the dark rollin' sea

D G D

When I met aboot daybreak a bonnie young lassie

G D A7 D

That asked me the road and the miles tae Dundee

[Verse 2]

D G D

I said, "My young lassie, I canna weel tell ye

G D E7 A7

The road and the distance I ne'er can weel gauge

D G D

But if ye'll permit me tae gang a wee bittie

G D A7 D

I'll show ye the road and the miles tae Dundee

[Verse 3]

D G D

At once she consented and gave me her air-m

G D E7 A7

Nae a word did I speir wham that lassie might hear

D G D

She appeared like an angel in feature and for-m

G D A7 D

As she walked by my side on the road tae Dundee

[Verse 4]

D G D

At length with the howe of Strathmartine behind us

G D E7 A7

The spires o' the toon in full view we could see

D G D

She said, "Gentle sir, I can never forget ye

G D A7 D

For showin' me so far on the road tae Dundee.

[Verse 5]

D G D

This ring and this purse please accept as a token

G D E7 A7

And surely there's somethin' that ye can gi'e me,

D G D

That in years to come I'll the laddie remember

G D A7 D

Who showed me the road and the miles to Dundee?"

[Verse 6]

D G D

I took the gold pin frae the scarf on my bosom,

G D E7 A7

And said, "Tak' ye this, in remembrance o' me",

D G D

And bravely I kissed the sweet lips o' the lassie

G D A7 D

Ere I pairted wi' her on the road tae Dundee

[Verse 7]

D G D

So here's tae the lassie, I ne'er will forget her

G D E7 A7

Tae ilk a young laddie that's list'nin' tae me

D G D

Never be sweir to convoy a young lassie

G D A7 D

Though it's only to show her the road tae Dundee
