Cara Dillon - Donald Of Glencoe
[INTRO:] C F C F C
[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
F C
For I have a young sweetheart and Donald by name
F C
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)
[VERSE 5:]
F C
"Ah, perhaps your young Donald regards not your name
F C
And has placed his affection on some foreign dame
F C
He may have forgotten, for all that you know
F C
That bonny young creature he left in Glencoe"
[VERSE 6:]
F C
"From his promise, my Donald, would never depart
F C
For love, truth and honour stand firm in his heart
F C
And if I never see him, then single I'll go
F C
And mourn for my Donald, the pride of Glencoe"
[INSTRUMENTAL:] (same as verse)
[VERSE 7:]
F C
Then seeing her constance, he drew out a glove
F C
Which in parting she gave him in token of love
F C
She clung to his arms then and the tears down did flow
F C
"Ah, you're welcomed my Donald, the pride of Glencoe"
[VERSE 8:]
F C
"Come, cheer up my Flora, your sorrows are o'er
F C
And since we have met, love, we'll never part more
F C
And the loud blast of battle, far distant may blow
F C
Whilst in peace and contentment, we'll live in Glencoe"
