Dumbarton's drums they sound sae bonnie When they remind me of my Jeannie Such fond delight can steal upon me When Jeannie kneels and sings tae me Across the hills o' burning heather Dumbarton tolls the hour of pleasure A song of love that has no measure When Jeannie kneels and sings tae me Dumbarton's drums they sound sae bonnie When they remind me of my Jeannie Such fond delight can steal upon me When Jeannie kneels and sings tae me It's she alone who can delight me As gracefully she doth invite me And when her tender arms enfold me The blackest night can turn and flee Dumbarton's drums they sound sae bonnie When they remind me of my Jeannie Such fond delight can steal upon me When Jeannie kneels and sings tae me When Jeannie kneels and kisses me

Drive past Dumbarton and its rock regularly on route to Argylle to the caravan! Have also witnessed this being sung in Bavaria ( Plattling) by a beautiful Scottish female singer : and my pal acting to the words when she changed the word to "o my Johnnie" - guid on ye John Munro o Selkirk! Prost
@morrisshaw3 жыл бұрын
if you use the route regularly you should known it is argyll no e on the end, thats argyle as in the street in glasgow or the diamond patterned socks. and argyll begins on the west side of the stone bridge leaving arrochar heading for the rest, not on the west side of the balloch roundabout where some englishman moved the boundaries to include helensburgh in argyll which we don't accept tho somehow the keepers of the public purse seem to think it does and spends all the county's income there? fort william used to be in argyll before lochaber district was born.
@grassic3 жыл бұрын
love this song. It was originally sung from the woman's point of view, so Jeannie was Johnny. Johnny was a soldier and whenever she heard the drums of his regiment, she was reminded of him. In those days regiments were named after their colonels, in this case the Earl of Dumbarton, so she listens for "Dumbarton's Drums". Her soldier is the Colonel's servant "Dumbarton's caddy" and she dreams one day he'll be a captain and she his lady. It kind of doesn't make sense sung from Johnny's point of view (why would the drums of his regiment remind him of his girlfriend?), but whatever, it sounds good.

I guess he would think like me, the Houses of Parliament with all their pitted ignorance and arrogance, perhaps really do deserve to lose Scotland. Well, whatever comes, I only wish my cousins across the Border, the best with whatever they desire their Government to be :) As for this music, simply magical!

"Great Scottish song remembering Robert Burns (the Bard) and his girlfriend Jean Armour." The song long predates Burns and has nothing to do with him. First printed in a book of collected songs by Allan Ramsey in the 1720s
@sheilabrown14256 жыл бұрын
Neither does the song relate to the drums of the garrison of Dumbarton on the Clyde, (as many suppose it does,) but to a British regiment, called, as was then the custom, after its first commander, the Earl of Dumbarton, Dumbarton's regiment. The Earl was attached to the Stuart family, and died an exile in France in 1692.]
