Lyrics

The Ballad of the Tayport Braes

[D] A girl was sitting [G] on a [D] bench
And caught me una-[A]-wares.
[G] Me, being young and fool-[D]-ish
with no [G] knowledge of [A] such a-[D]-ffairs.


[D] I sat down be-[G]-side [D] her
And took her in my [A] view.
[G] Her being young and a-[D]-ble,
While to [G] me [A] love was [D] new.


[D] She led me to the [G] brac-[D]-ken
And Oh, so bright the [A] bloom.
She [G] filled my soul as [D] love can do,
And [G] left me [A] with this [D] tune:
...Sarah's Rag! (Sarah goes by Car - others go by motorbike)

(A Happy or a Sad tune -
look before, and if you leap. )
