chorus

Dumbartons drums they sound sae bonnie,

And they remind me o my Johnie,

Such fond delight does fall upon me,

When Johnie kneels and kisses me.

Verse 1

My love he is a handsome laddie,

And though he is Dumbartons caddie,

Some day Ill be a Captains lady,

When Johnie tends his vow tae me.

Verse 2

Across the fields of bounding heather,

Dumbarton sounds the hour o pleasure,

The joy I know will know no measure,

When Johnie kneels and kisses me.

Verse 3

Tis he alone that can delight me,

His roving eyes they do invite me,

And when his tender arms enfold me,

The blackest night does turn and flee
