-Verse-
As [D]I was a walkin? through [G]old Killie town,
It was [D]at the back end [A]o? November.
My [D]gaze was drawn tae a [G]gathering o? folk,
All [D]assembled by the Kil[A]marnock water.
-Chorus-
In the [Em]dreich winter?s morn,
A [A]game was well begun,
The [Em]curling stain slid [G]back and [A]forwards.
And the [Em]breaths like clouds,
Floated [A]upwards to the skies,
With the [Em]whoops and cries o? the [G]teams o? [A]Curlers.
My [D]attention was drawn tae a [G]young, bonny lass,
As she [D]stood and watched as a [A]close observer.
My [D]eyes were consumed as she [G]followed all the play,
And she [D]cheered on her father, [A]and her brother.
I [Em]gaid and I spoke,
And I [A]tellt her my name,
And she [Em]said she was cried Jean [G]Alexan[A]der.
She [Em]lived wi? her folk,
At the [A]Riccarton toll,
And [Em]she was the tollman?s [G]only [A]Daughter.
-Instrumental Bridge- D,G,A D,G,A D,G,A Em,G,A
At the [D]end o? the game, her [G]Father came across,
And he [D]shook my hand, and he [A]looked me over.
He [D]says young man come and [G]join us on the road
Then he [D]took her arm, and we [A]walked together.
And [Em]when we had went,
Tae their [A]cottage by the toll,
I was [Em]asked inside for a [G]drink and a [A]bladder.
And [Em]that was the start,
O? the [A]winning o? my heart.
And the [Em]cortine of the [G]tollman?s [A]daughter.
-Instrumental Bridge-
Here?s a [D]helf tae the good folk, o? [G]old Killie Town,
The [D]engineers, and the [A]carpet workers.
The [D]wabsters, the coopers, the dis[G]tiller o? the dram,
Their [D]women folk, and their [G]sons and daughters.
And [Em]here?s to the winter
That [A]brought us all the snow
And the [Em]ice that froze Kil[G]marnock [A]water
And [Em]here?s to the curlers,
That [A]brought me to my love,
The [Em]Riccarton tollman?s [G]only [A]daughter
