• The Road And The Miles Tae Dundee (Scottish Love Songs, 2003)

Cauld winter was howling o'er moorland and mountain
And wild was the surge on the dark rolling sea
When just about daybreak I spied a wee lassie
Who asked me the road and the miles to Dundee

Says I, my young lassie, I canna weel tell ye
The road and the distance I canna weel gi'e
But if you'll permit me to gang a wee bitty
I'll show ye the road and the miles to Dundee

At once she consented and gave me her arm
Ne'er a word did I spier wha the lassie might be
She appeared like an angel in feature and form
As she walked by my side on the road to Dundee

At length wi' the Howe o' Strathmartine behind us
And the spires of the toon in full view we could see
She said, gentle sir, I'll never forget ye
For showing me so far on the road to Dundee

Then she took the gowd ring that she wore on her bosom
Quo she, tak' ye this in remembrance o' me
So bravely I kissed the sweet lips o' the lassie
Ere I parted wi' her on the road to Dundee

So here's to that lassie I canna forget her
And ilka young laddie wha's listening tae me
O never be sweered to convey a young lassie
Though it's only to show her the road to Dundee.
