Donald of Glencoe Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A]As [D]I w[A]as [D]a'w[A]alking one
[D]even[A]ing of late
Where fragrant fine flowers
the [D]fields decorate
[A]I carelessly rambled where
[D]I d[A]id n[D]ot k[A]now
By the fair crystal fountain
that falls in [D]Glen[A]coe

[Verse 2]
And on [A]her who the prize on
Mount Ider was won
Then approached me a lassy
as bright as the sun
And the ribbon and the tartan
around her did flow
That welcomed young Donald
the pride of Glencoe
[G][A]

[Verse 3]
[G][A]
Said I, my fine creature,
your charming sweet smile
And your comely fine features
my heart has beguiled
And with your kind affection
on me you'll bestow
I'll bless the happy hour
we met in Glencoe

[Verse 4]
Kind [A]Sir, she made answer,
your love I'll disdain
For I have a young sweetheart
and Donald by name
And he went to the wars about
ten years ago
And a maid I remain 'till he returns

[Verse 5]
[A]Ah, perhaps your young Donald
regards not your name
And has placed his [G]af [D]fec
[A]tion on [D]some [A]foreign dame
He may have forgotten
for all that you know
That [Bm]bonny [G]young [D]creature
he left [A]in Glencoe

[Verse 6]
From his prom[D]ise [A]my Donald
he'd never depart
For love, [Bm]truth [G]and [D]hon[A]our
stand [D]firm [A]in his heart
And if I never see him, then [D]single [A]I'll go
And mourn [Bm]for [G]my D[D]onald
the pride [A]of Glencoe

[Verse 7]
[A]
Then seeing her constance
he [D]drew out a [A]glove
Which in part[G]ing she [D]gave
him in token [A]of love
She clung to [D]his arms [A]and
[D]tears down did [A]flow
Ah, you're wel[G]come my [D]Donald
the pride of Glen[A]coe

[Verse 8]
Come [A]cheer up my Flora
your sorrows are o'er
And since we have met love
we'll never part more
And the loud blast of battle,
far [D]distant [A]may blow
Whilst in peace [G]and con[D]tentment we'll
live in Glen[A]coe
