1. I've seen lots o' bonnie lassies on my travels wide,

D E A

but my heart is centred noo on bonnie Kate McBride.

D G

Al-tho I'm no’ a fellow that would throw a word away,

E E7 A

I'm surprised sometimes mysel' at a' I've got to say,

D G D

Roamin' in the gloamin' on the bonnie banks o' Clyde,

D E A

roamin' in the gloamin' wae my lassie by my side.

D Em

When the sun has gone to rest, that's the time that we love the best,

A A7 D

o, it's lovely roamin' in the gloamin'!

2. One nicht in the gloamin' we were trippin' side by side,

D E A

I kissed her twice, and I asked her once if she would be my bride.

D G

She was shy and so was I, we were both the same,

E E7 A

but I got brave and braver on the journey comin' hame.

+ CHORUS (2x) + D - G - A - A7 - D

3. Last nicht efter strollin' we got in at half past nine,

D E A

and sitting at the kitchen fire I asked her to be mine.

D G

When she promised, I got up and I danced the Hie-lan' fling,

E E7 A

I've just been to the jew'ller's and I bought her a bonnie wee ring.

Roamin' in the gloamin' on the bonnie banks o' Clyde,

roamin' in the gloamin' wae my lassie by my side.

o, it's lovely roamin' in the gloamin'!
