CI'm Geordie MacKay of the DmH. L. I.
GI'm fond of the lassies and a drCappie forbye,
COne day when out walking I cFhanced to sDee,

CSays I to the lass "Will Fyou walk for a Dmwhile?
GI'll buy you a bonnet and we'll Cdo it in style,
CMy kilt is Mackenzie oF' the H. DmL.I."
GShe look'd at me shyly and saCid wi' a sigh.
[Chorus]
CA Gordon for me, a GoFrdon for Dme,

GI made up my mind she was fashCioned for me,
CSoon I was a' thinking how nFice it would Dbe
GIf she would consent to get marrCied to me.
CThe day we were wed, the graFss was so Dmgreen,

GWhile she sings the song that sChe once sang to me.

CA Gordon for me, a GoFrdon for Dme,
GIf ye're no a Gordon ye're nCo use to me.
CThe Black Watch are braw, the FSeaforths anDd a'
GBut the cocky wee Gordon's the pCride o' them a'.
