A Gordon for Me


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 lassie "Will you walk foe 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 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'.
