-Verse-
D G
As I was a walkin’ through old Killie town,
D A
It was at the back end o’ 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,Ax3 Em,G,A
D G
At the end o’ the game, her Father came across,
