       D                       G             D
Cauld winter was howlin' o'er moor and o'er mountain

 G            D            G            A7
Wild was the surge on the dark rolling sea

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

    G              D           A7          D
Who asked me the road and the miles to Dundee

     D                       G           D
Says I, "My young lassie, I canna' well tell ye

     G              D        G           A7
The road and the distance I canna' well gie

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

       G           D           A7          D
I'll show ye the road and the miles to Dundee"

   D                       G          D
At once she consented and gave me her arm

         G           D            G            A7
Ne'er a word did I speir wha the lassie might be

       D                       G           D
She appeared like an angel in feature and form

        G            D           A7         D
As she walked by my side on the road to Dundee

    D                            G         D
At length wi' the Howe o' Strathmartine behind us

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

     D                      G        D
She said "Gentle Sir, I'll never forget ye

      G            D          A7         D
For showing me so far on the road to Dundee"

      D                           G          D
So I took the gold pin frae the scarf on my bosom

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

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

        G          D          A7         D
E'er I parted wi' her on the road to Dundee

    D                        G        D
So here's tae the lassie, I ne'er forget her

     G          D             G            A7
And ilka young laddie that's listening to me

   D                    G           D
O never be sweer to convoy a young lassie

            G         D           A7         D
Though it's only to show her the road to Dundee
