Seven Scotch songs/Dumbarton's Bonnie Dell

DUMBARTON'S BONNIE DELL.

There's ne'er a nook in a’ the land
King William rules sae well,
There's naething half sae canty, grand,
As blythe Dumbarton's dell;
And would you spier the reason why,
The truth I'll fairly tell,
A winsome lassock lives hard by
Dumbarton's bonnie dell.

Up by yon glen Loch Lomond laves,
Where bold Macgregors dwell;
And bogles dance o'er heroes' graves,
There lives Dunbarton's belle.
She's blest with every charm in life,
And this I know full well—
I'll ne'er be happy till my wife
Is blythe Dumbarton's belle.
