The Music Of Scotland



    Dumbarton's Drums

    Dumbarton's drums, they sound so bonnie
    And they remind me of my Johnnie
    Such fond delight doth steal upon me
    When Johnnie kneels and kisses me.

    Across the fields o' bounding heather
    Dumbarton tolls the hour of pleasure
    A song of love that's without measure
    When Johnnie sings his songs to me.

    'Tis he alone that can delight me
    His roving 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 to me.
