A Gordon For Me by Kenneth Mckellar
A Gordon For Me
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Verse]
C Dm
I'm Geordie MacKay of the H. L. I.
G C
I'm fond of the lassies and a drappie forbye,
C F D
One day when out walking I chanced to see,
G C
A bonnie wee lass wi' a glint in her ee'
C F Dm
Says I to the lass "Will you walk for a while?
G C
I'll buy you a bonnet and we'll do it in style,
C F Dm
My kilt is Mackenzie o' the H. L.I."
G C
She look'd at me shyly and said wi' a sigh.
[Chorus]
C F D
A Gordon for me, a Gordon for me,
G C
If ye're no a Gordon ye're no use to me.
C F D
The Black Watch are braw, the Seaforths and a'
G C
But the cocky wee Gordon's the pride o' them a'.
[Verse]
C Dm
I courted that girl on the banks of the Dee,
G C
I made up my mind she was fashioned for me,
C F D
Soon I was a' thinking how nice it would be
G C
If she would consent to get married to me.
C F Dm
The day we were wed, the grass was so green,
G C
The sun was as bright as the light in her 'een,
C F Dm
Now we've two bonnie lassies who sit on her knee,
G C
While she sings the song that she once sang to me.
[Chorus]
C F D
A Gordon for me, a Gordon for me,
G C
If ye're no a Gordon ye're no use to me.
C F D
The Black Watch are braw, the Seaforths and a'
G C
But the cocky wee Gordon's the pride o' them a'.
