[Verse]
             A    Em     A        
Last year at Lady Mary's fair when
 C     D     Em
 I was in Dundee
          C       D               
I fell in with an old sweetheart, 
    Em       A
and he being on a spree
    Em   C    D           Em    
His company I did accept and 
            A
with him I did go
G   Em    A      Em         C 
But to my sad misfortune it 
            Em
proved my overthrow

[Verse]
            A        Em       A  
We wandered east, we wandered 
      C        D           Em
west, we wandered through the lawn
             C      D             
He said he'd see me home that 
       Em           A
night, but home I never saw
   Em     C       D           
He kept beside me all the while, 
     Em        A
resolved to have his will
G   Em     A     Em            
And by and by we lost our way 
      C              Em
at the back of Rare's Hill

[Verse]
            A      Em     A      
And when we got to Rare's Hill, 
   C      D       Em
the laddie said to me
             C      D             
"We can't go home tonight, my 
       Em                   A
dear, it's far too late, you'll see
        Em       C        D  
But the night is warm and in my 
               Em          A
pouch, I've got another gill
G  Em     A        Em          
So we can lie down here 
         C              Em
content, at the back of Rare's Hill"

[Verse]
            A        Em   A       
And then he poured a nip apiece to
 C     D    Em
 quiet all alarm
        C           D             
When I awoke in the morning, we 
   Em                     A
were locked in each other's arms
   Em     C      D        Em    
He handed me the bottle, another
          A
 glass to fill
G     Em        A         Em   
And I drank his health in store
                  C              
 o' wealth at the back of Rare's 
Em
Hill

[Verse]
             A       Em      A   
And then the lad, he said to me, 
    C       D      Em
"Oh lassie, do not mourn
            C        D            
For while I draw the breath of 
        Em             A
life, from you I'll never turn
   Em       C       D            
If you will come to yonder town, 
   Em             A
my wedded wife to be
G     Em     A        Em       
We'll be the happiest couple 
        C          Em
yet 'twas ever in Dundee"

[Verse]
                 A     Em  A      
Well, it's may I never prosper and
 C     D     Em
 may I never thrive
      C       D                Em
In anything I take in hand, as 
           A
long as I'm alive
   Em     C     D              
If e'er I say I rue the day my 
Em             A
laddie had his will
G  Em      A           Em      
Success to Lady Mary's fair and
     C              Em
 the back of Rare's Hill
