Biography:
Old Blind Dogs is a musical group which plays Celtic folk and traditional Scottish folk music, with influences from rock, reggae and Middle Eastern music rhythms. The three founding members of the band (Ian F. Benzie, Buzzby McMillan and Jonny Hardie) first met during a so-called "buskers' holiday" in the Scottish Highlands in 1990, and after playing together for the summer decided to call themselves "Old Blind Dogs". Dave Francis and Carmen Higgins joined the band soon afterwards

Old Blind Dogs - Monymusk Lads
[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
As I cam in by Monymusk
F
And doon by Alford's dale
Am
A sad misfortune happened to me
F G
And I think nae shame to tell
Am D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do
[Verse 2]
Am
As I gaed in by Monymusk
F
The moon was shining clear
Am
And I held on to Lethendy
F G
To see my Maggie dear
Am D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do
[Verse 3]
Am
I did gang when I did think
F
That a' were sleepin' soun'
Am
But plague upon yon auld wife
F G
For she cam' slinkin' doon
Am D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do
[Verse 4]
Am
Sae cannily she slipped the lock
F
And set the door agee
Am
Then crawled upon her hands and knees
F G
To see what it could be
Am D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do
[Verse 5]
Am
Then to the bells wi' a' her micht
F
Sae loud she made them ring
Am
'Til faith, I thocht aboot my lugs
F G
The biggin she would bring
Am D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do
[Verse 6]
Am
And when she saw I wouldnae slip
F
She ran to her guid man
Am
Says, "There's a lad into the hoose
F G
And this I winna stand
Am D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do
[Verse 7]
Am
For it's a most disgraceful thing
F
It would provoke a saunt
Am
To see the servant girls wi' lads
F G
When the gentle anes maun want
Am D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do
[Verse 8]
Am
Providence has acted wrang
F
Sic pleasures for to gie
Am
Tae ony servant lad or lass
F G
Just working for a fee"
Am D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do
[Verse 9]
Am
The auld man, he cam ben himself
F
And he pushed ben his heid
Am
Guid faith, I thocht it was a ghost
F G
Just risen frae the deid
Am D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do
[Verse 10]
Am
He'd duddy drawers upon his legs
F
He'd on a cap o' white
Am
And he'd a face as lang's my leg
F G
And in his hand a light
Am D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do
[Verse 11]
Am
He's ta'en me by the shoulders broad
F
And pushed me out o' doors
Am
Thinks I, my auld lad, I'll come back

When sleepin' gars ye snore

Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do
Am D
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do

Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do
Am D Am
Fal to too, fal to too ril aye do
