November. D G My gaze was drawn tae a gathering o? folk, D A All assembled by the Kilmarnock water. -Chorus- Em In the dreich winter?s morn, A A game was well begun, Em G A The curling stain slid back and forwards. Em And the breaths like clouds, A Floated upwards to the skies, Em G A With the whoops and cries o? the teams o? Curlers. D G My attention was drawn tae a young, bonny lass, D A As she stood and watched as a close observer. D G My eyes were consumed as she followed all the play, D A And she cheered on her father, and her brother. Em I gaid and I spoke, A And I tellt her my name, Em G A And she said she was cried Jean Alexander. Em She lived wi? her folk, A At the Riccarton toll, Em G A And she was the tollman?s only Daughter. -Instrumental Bridge- D,G,A D,G,A D,G,A Em,G,A D G At the end o? the game, her Father came across, D A And he shook my hand, and he looked me over. D G He says young man come and join us on the road D A Then he took her arm, and we walked together. Em And when we had went, A Tae their cottage by the toll, Em G A I was asked inside for a drink and a bladder. Em And that was the start, A O? the winning o? my heart. Em G A And the cortine of the tollman?s daughter. -Instrumental Bridge- D G Here?s a helf tae the good folk, o? old Killie Town, D A The engineers, and the carpet workers. D G The wabsters, the coopers, the distiller o? the dram, D G Their women folk, and their sons and daughters. Em And here?s to the winter A That brought us all the snow Em G A And the ice that froze Kilmarnock water Em And here?s to the curlers, A That brought me to my love, Em G A The Riccarton tollman?s only daughter -Instrumental Bridge as Outro- Brought to you by ChuffersDanube
