Tell me fit was on yer road, ye roarin Norland wind?

As ye come blawin frae the land that's never frae ma mind

Ma man, I saw the siller tides run up the Firth o' Forth
[Verse]
G Em C D
And wind, I ken them weel eneuch an fine they fa and rise
G Em C D
Fain I'd feel the creepin mist on yonder shore that lies
G Em C D
But tell me as ye pass them by, fit saw ye on the way?

Bit saw ye naethin leein wind afore ye come tae Fife?

For there's muckle lyin 'yont the Tay that's mair tae me nor life

Oh wind, hae mercy, haud your wheesht for I daurna listen mair
