[Chorus]
A                   D            E
Saw ye Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy

A                         E    D
Saw ye Rory Murphy comin' frae Dumbarton

A                   D            E
Saw ye Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy

A                         E    D
Saw ye Rory Murphy comin' frae Dumbarton
[Verse]
A              D     E
Now Rory was a piper bold

A                 D      E
Hieland blood wi' in him flowed

A                   D          E
And lowland bodies' hearts aye glowed

A               G    A
To the tunes of Rory Murphy

A                       D           E
He filled the warriors' breasts wi' fire

A                       D        E
He cheered the heart o' sage and sire

A                      D      E
And made the listening groups admire

A           E       A
As he gae'd through Dumbarton
[Chorus]
A                   D            E
Saw ye Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy

A                         E    D
Saw ye Rory Murphy comin' frae Dumbarton
[Verse]
A                D      E
He had a beard o'lammer gloss

A                       D        E
His cheeks were fresher than the rose

A                     D         A
His sparkling eyes as black A sloe's

A             G       A
And a nose as red's a partan

A              D       E
Rory stood six foot or more

A                  D          E
The brawest man on Scotland's shore

A                   D   E
And all the lassies did adore

A.        E A
The piper o'Dumbarton
[Chorus]
A                   D            E
Saw ye Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy

A                         E    D
Saw ye Rory Murphy comin' frae Dumbarton
[Verse]
A                       D     E
He oft times played the night awa'

A                D        E
And never was he tired at aw

A               D       E
Piping note for one and a'

A                G      A
And a tune for a lovely tartan

A                  D     A
When Rory drank an extra gill

A                   D         A
He made his chanter sound say shrill

A                 D         A
You'd hear him on Benlomond Hill

A        G     A
As clear as in Dumbarton
[Chorus]
A                   D            E
Saw ye Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy

A                         E    D
Saw ye Rory Murphy comin' frae Dumbarton
[Verse]
A                     D   E
'Twas whisky that did him betray

A                         D          E
While tottering home more drunk each day

A                    D        E
He fell headlong all doon the brae

A               G        A
That killed him dead for certain

A                      D      E
No more we'll hear his witchy tones

A                      D       E
No more he'll blow his Hieland drones

A                  D           E
His bones lie cold beneath the stones

A               E   A
In the kirkyard o'  Dumbarton
[Chorus]
A                  D            E
Saw ye Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy

A                         E    D
Saw ye Rory Murphy comin' frae Dumbarton

A                   D            E
Saw ye Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy

A                         E    D
Saw ye Rory Murphy comin' frae Dumbarton

A                   D            E
Saw ye Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy

A                         E    D
Saw ye Rory Murphy comin' frae Dumbarton
