A VILLAGE LIKE DUNDONALD


Chorus 1

Five miles fae Kilmarnock, an’ five miles fae Troon

Five miles fae Irvine an’ ev’ry other toon

They’re diggin up the quarry, must be five miles doon

Cos there’s never been a village like Dundonald.


Chorus 2

Wae the fame o’ William Wallace an’ Robert the Bruce

They lived up the castle when it was jist a hoose

But that’s no why Ah love it, it’s jist a wee excuse

Cos there’s never been a village like Dundonlad.


Ah’ve ta’en a walk tae Auchens, climbed the castle high

Ah’ve swung oot ower the precipice, till Ah thocht that Ah could fly

Ah’ve been in a’ yer hooses, Ah ken a’ yer names

An’ wance a year we’ll a’ meet up at the aul’ Dundonald Games.


Chorus 1


Ah’ve sat at the memorial an’ watched parades pass by

Ah’ll visit the Dundonald church, but only when Ah die

Ah’ve drank in ev’ry bar we’ve got, danced the night away

Ah jist wish there was an official St Dundonald Day!


Chorus 1


Chorus 2
