As I cam owre Strathmartine Mains Wha dae ye think I seen? But a braw young piper laddie Cam a-linkin owre the green Singing hey Donald, ho Donald Dirrum-a-doo-a-day He played a jig and he played reel And he played a sweet strathspey He roused my hairt 'til the beat skipped time Tae the tappin' o' ma tae Singing hey Donald, ho Donald Dirrum-a-doo-a-day Well, I've nae gowd tae offer ye I hae but little gear But we'll hae love and freedom If ye'll gang wi' me, my dear Singing hey Donald, ho Donald Dirrum-a-doo-a-day There's gowd in the broom o' the Sidlaw Hills Honey in the heather sweet There's speckled trout in the Henlinn Tarn A cairpet 'neath oor feet Singing hey Donald, ho Donald Dirrum-a-doo-a-day He blew up his chanter An' it's sic a spig he plays So I chose love and freedom An' I'll wander all my days Singing hey Donald, ho Donald Dirrum-a-doo-a-day
