Bonnie Dunoon

Written & Composed by
Pipe Major John McLellan
1943

 

 

 

'There's a dear little spot on the shores o' the Clyde,

I'll lo'e it for ever what e'er may betide,

For my heart fills wi' joy when ale nature's in tune,

As I stroll wi' my true love in Bonnie Dunoon.

 

Chorus

 

Oh! Bonnie Dunoon, sae heavenly fair,

Where e'er I may wander my heart will be there,

Wi' high heather hills keeping guard o'er the toon,

Aye my thoughts will be yonder in Bonnie Dunoon.

 

Gin the sweet highland air is a cure for maist ills,

There's lang life for mony wha roam the braw hills,

Whaur the sweet scented air like a garden in June,

Mak's oor lives worth living in Bonnie Dunoon.

 

Chorus

 

Romantic Glen Morag the sweet fairy glen,

Is famed for its beauty the fond lovers ken,

Whaur the birds chatter gaily or pipe a sweet tune,

As they share in the pleasures o' Bonnie Dunoon.

 

Chorus
