1. When I was a young boy, my mother said to me,

        D                                               A

    "Find yourself a pretty lass, don't take her love for free!"

              Bm                                      G

    From fields of Aberfeldy to the shores of Loch Maree

          D                          A                  D

    I know that she's the only one for me.

2. She was dancing by the fire as a piper played a tune.

              D                                                        A

   she wrapped her arms around me and she asked "Are you my groom?"

          Bm                                         G

    A dram of amber whisky and a twinkle in her eye,

            D                               A               D

    we danced beneath the Caledonia sky.

 

             Bm                                      D
