[Verse 1]
   C
In Perth there lived a bonnie lad
  F              C
A brewer tae his trade O

An' he is courted Peggie Roy
  F                  G
A young and handsome maid O


[Chorus]
      C
Wi' a fall dall diddle um a die dum doo
                                     F  G
Wi' a fall dall diddle um a die doh


[Verse 2]
           C
Well, he's courted her for seven lang years
   F                C
A' for tae gain her favour

But there cam a lad oot a' Edinburgh toon
    F                   G
Wha swore that he would have her


[Verse 3]
     C
It's will ye gang alang wi' me
    F             C
An' will ye be ma honey?

It's will ye gang alang wi' me
    F                 G
An' leave your brewer laddie?


[Verse 4]
    C
Oh, I will gang alang wi' you
 F                 C
Alang wi' you I'll ride O

I'll gang wi' you to the ends o' the earth
           F                   G
Though I'm spoke to the brewer lad O


[Chorus]
      C
Wi' a fall dall diddle um a die dum doo
                                     F  G
Wi' a fall dall diddle um a die doh


[Verse 5]
        C
Oh, the brewer, he cam hame at een
  F                C
A-speirin' for his honey

Her faither, he made this reply
       F                   G
"She's no' been here since Monday"


[Verse 6]
    C
Oh, wasna that an uncoo' ploy
        F           C
Wouldna onyone be offended

Tae court wi' a lad for seven lang years
    F                G
And leave him at the end o't


[Chorus]
      C
Wi' a fall dall diddle um a die dum doo
                                     F  G
Wi' a fall dall diddle um a die doh


[Verse 7]
    C
Oh, be it so, and let her go
    F              C
For it shall never grieve me

I'm a lad that's free, as you can see
      F                 G
And a sma' thing will relieve me


[Verse 8]
        C
There's as guid fish intae the sea
   F            C
As ever yet was taken

I'll cast ma net an' try again
  F              G
Although I am forsaken


[Chorus]
      C
Wi' a fall dall diddle um a die dum doo
                                     F  G
Wi' a fall dall diddle um a die doh


[Verse 9]
      C
She's rambled up, she's rambled doon
      F                  C
She's rambled through Kirkaldy

Mony's the time she rued the day
    F                G
She jilt' her brewer laddie


[Verse 10]
     C
He's taen his course an' awa' he's gaen
    F              C
The country he has fled O

He's left nae sark upon her back
    F              G
Nor blanket on her bed O


[Chorus]
      C
Wi' a fall dall diddle um a die dum doo
                                     F  G
Wi' a fall dall diddle um a die doh


[Verse 11]
    C
The brewer, he set up in Perth
    F                     C
And there he brews strang ale O

He's courted wi' anither lass
    F               G
And taen her tae himsel' O


[Verse 12]
   C
Ye lovers a', where'er ye be
     F             C
Just let this be a warnin'

An' never slight your ane true love
    F              G
For fear you get a waur ane


[Chorus]
      C
Wi' a fall dall diddle um a die dum doo
                                     F  G
Wi' a fall dall diddle um a die doh
