Piper of Dundee

The piper came to out town,
To our town, to our town
The piper came to our town
And he played bonnielie
He play'd a spring the laird to please
A spring brent new from 'yont the seas
And then he gae his bags a wheeze
And played anither key

And wasna he a rougey, a rougey, a rougey
And wasna he a rougey, the piper o' Dundee

He play'd "The Welcome Ower the Main"
And "Ye's Be Fou and I'se be Fain"
And "Auld Stuart's Back Again"
Wi' muckle mirth and glee
He'd play'd "The Kirk", he play'd "The Queer"
"The Mullen Dhu" and "Chevalier"
And "Lang Awa' But Welcome Here"
Sae sweet, sae bonnielie

And wasna he a rougey, a rougey, a rougey
And wasna he a rougey, the piper o' Dundee

It's some gat swords and some gat nane
And some were dancing mad their lane
And mony a vow o' weir
Was ta'en that night at Amulrie
There was Tillibardine, and Burleigh
And Struan, Keith, and Olgivie
And brave Carnegie, wha' but he,
The piper o' Dundee.

And wasna he a rougey, a rougey, a rougey
And wasna he a rougey, the piper o' Dundee

Name's Sophia Taylor. Not Jane Austen. :D I have Polish, Irish, Scottish, British, Portuguese (not enough to darken my skin any), and practically any European country, I have it in me. I've got brown hair, blue eyes, and an oval face. - Photo: Caroline (twin), Robert, little brother, now 12, and me. We were 6 when this was taken, in the year 1998.
