D 
Em 
Cauld winter was howlin'
D 
o'er moor and o'er mountain
G 
D 
Wild was the surge on the
Em 
dark rolling sea,
D 
Em 
When I met about daybreak a
D 
bonnie young lassie,
Wha asked me the road
Em 
A 
and the miles to Dundee.
D 
Em 
Says I, "My young lassie,
D 
I  canna' weel tell ye
G 
D 
The road and the distance
A 
I canna' weel gie.
D 
Em 
But if you'll permit me  tae
G 
D 
gang a wee bittie,
G 
D 
I'll show ye the road and
Em 
C 
D 
the miles to Dundee".
At once she consented and gave me her arm,
G 
D 
Em

Ne'er a word did I speir wha the lassie might be,

Verse 2
A 
G 
At length wi' the Howe o'
D 
Strathmartine behind us,
G 
D 
The spires o' the toon
Em 
in full view we could see,
D 
A 
She said "Gentle Sir,
D 
I'll never forget ye
G 
D 
Em 
A 
For showing me so far on the road to Dundee".

So I took the gowd pin from the
D 
scarf on my bosom
Em 
D 
- And said "Keep ye this in
Em 
A 
remembrance 0' me
D 
Em 
Then bravely I kissed the sweet
D 
lips o' the lassie,
G 
D 
E'er I parted wi' her
A 
Em 
A 
on the road to  Dundee.
D 
Em 
So here's to the lassie,
G 
D 
I ne'er forget her,
And lika young laddie that's
Em 
A 
listening to me,
D 
Em 
G 
O  never be sweer to convoy
D 
a young lassie
G 
D 
Em 
Though it's only to show her the road
D 
to Dundee.
