Said I, ‘My young lassie, I canna weel tell ye
The road and the distance I canna weel gie
But if you’ll permit me tae gang a wee bittie
I’ll show ye the road and the miles tae Dundee.
At once she consented and gave me her arm
Ne’er a word did I speir wha the lassie might be
She appeared like an angel in feature and form
And she walked by my side on the road tae Dundee.
At length wi’ the howe of Strathmartine behin’ us
An’ the spires of the toon in full view we could see
She said ‘Gentle sir, I can ne’er forget ye
For showing me so far on the road tae Dundee.
This ring and this purse take to prove I am grateful
And some simple token in trust ye’ll gie me’
Then bravely I kissed the sweet lips o’ the lassie
‘Ere I parted with her on the road tae Dundee.
So here’s tae the lassie – I ne’er can forget her
And ilka young laddie that’s listening to me
And ne’er be shy to convoy a young lassie
Though it’s only to show her the road tae Dundee.
