GADIE RINS aka The BACK o' BENNACHIE

Chorus
There's meal and ale where the Gaddie rins,
Wi' the yellow broom and the bonnie whins,
There's meal and ale where the Gaddie rins,
At the back o' Bennachie

As I cam' 'roon fae Bennachie
A bonny lassie I did see,
I gaed her a wink and she smiled at me ,
At the back o' Bennachie, .... Chorus

Oh I took the lassie oan ma knee,
Her kilt was short abune her knee,
I says ma lassie will ye come wi' me,
Tae the back o' Bennachie, .... Chorus

I says tae her "Pit oan yer kilt,
Yer awfy braw an' gey well built,
Ye can wear yer plaidie alang wi' yer kilt,
At the back o' Bennachie, .... Chorus

Oh when her mither comes tae ken,
We hiv tae run noo frae oor hame,
And sleep in the heather up in the glen,
At the back o' Bennachie, .... Chorus

Oh here's tae the lassie o' Bennachie,
I'll never gang back there for tae see,
I'll bide wi' ma mither until ah dee,
At the back o' Bennachie, .... Chorus
