DUMBARTON'S
DRUMS
Traditional
Dumbarton's drums they sound sae bonnie
And they remind me o' my Johnnie,
Such fond delight doth steal upon me
When Johnnie kneels and kisses me.
Across the fields o' boundin' heather
Dumbarton tolls the hour of pleasue,
A song of love that's without measure
When Johnnie sings his sangs tae me.
'Tis he alone that can delight me
His rovin' eye, it doth invite me,
And when his tender arms enfold me
The blackest night doth turn and flee.
My Johnnie is a handsome laddie
And though he is Dumbarton's caddie,
Some day I'll be a captain's lady
When Johnnie tends his vows tae me.
