The Road and the Miles to Dundee
Cold winter was howling o'er moorland and mountain And wild was the surge of the dark rolling sea When I met about daybreak a bonnie young laddie Who asked me the road and the miles to Dundee
Said I, 'My young laddie, I canna weel tell ye The road and the distance I canna weel gie But if you'll permit me to gang a wee bittie I'll show you the road and the miles to Dundee'
The laddie consented and gie me his airm Not a word did I speir wha the laddie micht be As he walked by my side on the road to Dundee
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com At length wi' the howe o' Strathmartine behind us The spires o' the town in full view we could see He said, 'Gentle lassie, I can ne'er forget ye For showing me far on the road to Dundee'
So here's to the laddie, I ne'er can forget him And like a young lassie who's listening to me O never be sweir to convoy a young laddie Though it's only to show him the road to Dundee To show him the road and the miles to Dundee Traditional
