Biography:
Old Blind Dogs is a musical group which plays Celtic folk and traditional Scottish folk music, with influences from rock, reggae and Middle Eastern music rhythms. The three founding members of the band (Ian F. Benzie, Buzzby McMillan and Jonny Hardie) first met during a so-called "buskers' holiday" in the Scottish Highlands in 1990, and after playing together for the summer decided to call themselves "Old Blind Dogs". Dave Francis and Carmen Higgins joined the band soon afterwards

Capo 4
[Intro]
C F G
C F G
[Verse 1]
C F
As I rode down by Brig O Dye
G C
And past yon hill o' broom
F C
A maiden sang right merrily
F G
Just as the sun gaed doon
[Chorus]
F C
Sayin', "Cairn O' Mount is bleak and bare
Dm7 G
And cauld lies Clach na Benn
C F Am
And you can see the snow lyin' there
Dm7 F
Along the summer's end"
[Verse 2]
C F
Well, I lighted off my dapple grey
G C
And walked by her side
F C
Sayin', "Lassie, I hae lost my way
F G
Upon your moor sae wide
F C
Oh, war me o' your face sae fair
F G
Yer een sae bonny blue
C F Am
An' the longest day I blithely share
Dm7 F
Tae kiss your cherry moo
[Chorus]
F C
Sayin', "Cairn O' Mount is bleak and bare
Dm7 G
And cauld lies Clach na Benn
C F Am
And you can see the snow lyin' there
Dm7 F
Along the summer's end"
[Verse 3]
C F
Oh lassie, will ye gan wi' me
G C
And leave yer cauld richt glen?
F C
Wi' a' my kin, ye'll bear the gree
F G
There's wealth baith but and ben
F C
Wi' silks and satins busket braw
F G
And ribbons fer yer hair
C F Am
And maids tae answer when ye ca'
Dm7 F
So can ye wish for mair?
[Chorus]
F C
Sayin', "Cairn O' Mount is bleak and bare
Dm7 G
And cauld lies Clach na Benn
C F Am
And you can see the snow lyin' there
Dm7 F
Along the summer's end"
[Verse 4]
C F
Oh, lassie, ye maun think awhile
G C
My lands are far and wide
F C
I've gold in banks and ships at sea
F G
So come and be my bride
F C
My faither's left me lordships twa
F G
A coach at my command
C F Am
I'll mak' ye lady o' them a'
Dm7 F
If ye'll gie me yer hand
[Chorus]
F C
Sayin', "Cairn O' Mount is bleak and bare
Dm7 G
And cauld lies Clach na Benn
C F Am
And you can see the snow lyin' there
Dm7 F
Along the summer's end"
[Verse 5]
C F
Oh, lassie, think yer Donald's poor
G C
Has neither horse nor coo
F C
A shepherd stragglin' ower the moor
F G
Is no' a match for you"
F C
"Oh Cairn O' Mount is bleak and bare
F G
And cauld lies Clach na Benn
C F Am
And I'd rather meet my Donald there
Dm7 F
Than be fair Scotland's Queen"

C F
"Oh, lassie I am loath tae tell
G C
You throw yer love awa'
F C
Yer Donald brally kens himsel'
F G
Last gloamins what I saw
F C
As I rode by his shielin' door
F G
I spied a heiland maid
C F Am
And yer Donald kissed her ower and ower
Dm7 F
And rolled her in his plaid"
[Chorus]
F C
Sayin', "Cairn O' Mount is bleak and bare
Dm7 G
And cauld lies Clach na Benn
C F Am
And you can see the snow lyin' there
Dm7 F
Along the summer's end"

C F
"Oh, would you swear a solemn oath
G C
What you hae told tae me?
F C
I wouldnae dread my Donald's faith
F G
But sae base loon ye lee"

Combed doon his yellow hair

Dm7 F
And now we'll part nae mair
[Chorus]

And you can see the snow lyin' there
Dm7 F
Along the summer's end"

Nae mair I'm shepherd o' the glen
G C
But laird a'yont the Dee
F C
And since ye hae been true tae me
F G
I'll aye prove true tae thee"

Sayin', "Cairn O' Mount is bleak and bare
Dm7 G
And cauld lies Clach na Benn
C F Am
And you can see the snow lyin' there

Along the summer's end"
