A D E
Saw ye Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy
A E D
Saw ye Rory Murphy comin' frae Dumbarton
A D E
Saw ye Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy
A E D
Saw ye Rory Murphy comin' frae Dumbarton
[Verse]
A D E
Now Rory was a piper bold
A D E
Hieland blood wi' in him flowed
A D E
And lowland bodies' hearts aye glowed
A G A
To the tunes of Rory Murphy
A D E
He filled the warriors' breasts wi' fire
A D E
He cheered the heart o' sage and sire
A D E
And made the listening groups admire
A E A
As he gae'd through Dumbarton
[Chorus]
A D E
Saw ye Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy
A E D
Saw ye Rory Murphy comin' frae Dumbarton
[Verse]
A D E
He had a beard o'lammer gloss
A D E
His cheeks were fresher than the rose
A D A
His sparkling eyes as black A sloe's
A G A
And a nose as red's a partan
A D E
Rory stood six foot or more
A D E
The brawest man on Scotland's shore
A D E
And all the lassies did adore
A. E A
The piper o'Dumbarton
[Chorus]
A D E
Saw ye Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy
A E D
Saw ye Rory Murphy comin' frae Dumbarton
[Verse]
A D E
He oft times played the night awa'
A D E
And never was he tired at aw
A D E
Piping note for one and a'
A G A
And a tune for a lovely tartan
A D A
When Rory drank an extra gill
A D A
He made his chanter sound say shrill
A D A
You'd hear him on Benlomond Hill
A G A
As clear as in Dumbarton
[Chorus]
A D E
Saw ye Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy
A E D
Saw ye Rory Murphy comin' frae Dumbarton
[Verse]
A D E
'Twas whisky that did him betray
A D E
While tottering home more drunk each day
A D E
He fell headlong all doon the brae
A G A
That killed him dead for certain
A D E
No more we'll hear his witchy tones
A D E
No more he'll blow his Hieland drones
A D E
His bones lie cold beneath the stones
A E A
In the kirkyard o' Dumbarton
[Chorus]
A D E
Saw ye Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy
A E D
Saw ye Rory Murphy comin' frae Dumbarton
A D E
Saw ye Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy
A E D
Saw ye Rory Murphy comin' frae Dumbarton
A D E
Saw ye Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy, Rory Murphy
A E D
Saw ye Rory Murphy comin' frae Dumbarton
