-Verse-
D G
As I was a walkin’ through old Killie town,
D A
It was at the back end o’ November.
D G
My gaze was drawn tae a gathering o’ folk,
D A
All assembled by the Kilmarnock water.
-Chorus-
Em
In the dreich winter’s morn,
A
A game was well begun,
Em G A
The curling stain slid back and forwards.
Em
And the breaths like clouds,
A
Floated upwards to the skies,
Em G A
With the whoops and cries o’ the teams o’ Curlers.
D G
My attention was drawn tae a young, bonny lass,
D A
As she stood and watched as a close observer.
D G
My eyes were consumed as she followed all the play,
D A
And she cheered on her father, and her brother.
Em
I gaid and I spoke,
A
And I tellt her my name,
Em G A
And she said she was cried Jean Alexander.
Em
She lived wi’ her folk,
A
At the Riccarton toll,
Em G A
And she was the tollman’s only Daughter.

D G
At the end o’ the game, her Father came across,
D A
And he shook my hand, and he looked me over.
D G
He says young man come and join us on the road
D A
Then he took her arm, and we walked together.
Em
And when we had went,
A
Tae their cottage by the toll,
Em G A
I was asked inside for a drink and a bladder.
Em
And that was the start,
A
O’ the winning o’ my heart.
Em G A
And the courtin' of the tollman’s daughter.
[Instrumental Bridge]
D G
Here’s a helf tae the good folk, o’ old Killie Town,
D A
The engineers, and the carpet workers.
D G
The wabsters, the coopers, the distiller o’ the dram,
D G
Their women folk, and their sons and daughters.
Em
And here’s to the winter
A
That brought us all the snow
Em G A
And the ice that froze Kilmarnock water
Em
And here’s to the curlers,
A
That brought me to my love,
Em G A
The Riccarton tollman’s only daughter
