[Verse 1]
 D                             G             D
Cauld winter was howlin' o'er moor and o'er mountain

     G            D            E7           A7
And wild was the surge on the dark rollin' sea

        D                    G            D
When I met aboot daybreak a bonnie young lassie

    G             D            A         D
Who asked me the road and the miles tae Dundee
[Verse 2]
 D                        G       D
Said I My young lassie, I canna weel tell ye

    G              D                       A7
The road and the distance I ne'er can weel gie

    D                       G           D
But if ye'll permit me tae gang a wee bittie

   G              D            A7        D
I'll show ye the road and the miles tae Dundee
[Verse 3]
  D                        G            D
At once she consented and gied me her air-m

        G            D                      A7
Ne’re a word did I speir wha the lassie might be

     D                        G             D
She appeared like an angel in feature and for-m

        G           D           A7        D
As she walked by my side on the road tae Dundee
[Verse 4]
    D                        G             D
At length with the howe of Strathmartin behind us

    G              D                       A7
The spires o' the toon in full view we could see

 D                           G          D
She said, "Gentle sir, I can ne-re can forget ye

     G           D           A7        D
For showing me the road and the miles tae Dundee.
[Verse 4]
D                                G              D
This ring and this purse take to prove that I’m grateful

       G         D                     A7
And some simple token in trust you’ll gi'e me,

      D                        G         D
And in times to come I'll the laddie remember

       G            D            A7        D
That showed me the road and the miles to Dundee?"
[Verse 5]
    D                          G           D
I took the gold pin frae the scarf on my bosom,

     G             D                    A7
And said, take ye this, in remembrance o' me",

  D                          G              D
Then bravely I kissed the sweet lips o' the lassie

      G           D          A7        D
Ere I parted wi' her on the road tae Dundee
[Verse 6]
D                          G           D
So here's tae the lassie, I ne'er can forget her

     G           D                       A7
And Ilka young laddie that's list'nin' tae me

    D                  G               D
And never be sweir to convoy a young lassie

             G     D             A7        D
Though it's only to show her the road tae Dundee
[Verse 7]
D                             G             D
Cauld winter was howlin' o'er moor and o'er mountain

     G            D            E7           A7
And wild was the surge on the dark rollin' sea

        D                    G            D
When I met aboot daybreak a bonnie young lassie

    G             D            A         D
Who asked me the road and the miles tae Dundee
