    grandeur flows
    The winding Tay
    Where I was born, the lark at morn
    The thrush in evening ode
    Warbled music there beyond compare
    In grandest mode.
    Causing everyone to linger on the Old Cove Road.
    3.
    Quite a number still remember
    How the crowds came there
    In the amber of September
    To the old-time fair.
    What fun galore in days of yore
    When mirth and music flowed
    How they danced and sang, their laughter rang
    On the Old Cove Road
    How they danced and sang, their laughter rang
    On the Old Cove Road
