My love, he 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 Chorus (after each verse): Dumbarton's drums, they sound sae bonnie When they remind me o' my Johnnie What fond delight can steal upon me When Johnnie kneels and kisses me Across the hills of bounding heather Dumbarton tolls the hour of pleasure The joy I feel will ken nae measure When Johnnie kneels and sings tae me 'Tis he alone that can delight me His graceful eye, it does invite me And when his tender arms enfold me The blackest night will turn and die
