(To the tune of the Scottish folk song of the same name)
A Gordon for Me
1st Verse
I’m Georgie McHugh of the Gordon RU.
I’m fond of a lassie and drappie or two.
One day when out walking I chanced to see
A bonnie wee lass wi’ a glint in her ee.
Says I to the lassie will ye walk for a while.
I’ll buy ye a bonnet and we’ll do it in style,
My kilt is the tartan of the Gordon RU.
She looked at me shyly and said, Is that true?
Chorus
A Gordon for me, a Gordon for me.
If you’re not a Gordon you’re no use to me,
The Eastwoods are braw, the Randwicks an a’
But the cocky wee Gordon's the pride of them all.
2nd Verse
I courted that girl on the Banks of the Dee.
And made up my mind she was fashioned for me,
And soon I was thinking how nice it would be
If she would consent to get married to me.
The day we were wed the grass was so green,
The sun was as bright as the light in her een,
Now we’ve two bonnie lassies who sit on her knee.
While she sings the song that she once sang to me.
Chorus
A Gordon for me, a Gordon for me.
If you’re not a Gordon you’re no use to me,
The Eastwoods are braw, the Randwicks an a’
But the cocky wee Gordon's the pride of them all.
