Dancing in the Kyle

Dancing in the Kyle - Alasdair Gillies

Written by：Pritchard/Duguid

When the sun has gone down

On the dark western islands

Our work is all done for a while

Then we gather together whatever the weather

And drive to the dancing in Kyle

Now there's Marie and Duncan and Morag and Callum

Fiona and Kenna and Dawn

And were driving from Dornie Glenelg and Killinen

And laughing as we race along

Well now Rory will sing of the beauties of Isley

Seamus of Stornaway's isle

And the finest of dancers will show us the lancers

When we go to the dancing in Kyle

Theres the swirl o the kilt

And the skirl o the pipes

And Ken Masons accordion band

And it's ah for the eightsome and ah for the jig

And the dashing white seargent is grand

Soon the dawn will be showing

The great mountains glowing

And we must drive many a mile

But we'll leave Inverinate and Ardelve and Dornie

Next time that there's dancing in Kyle

And we'll laugh and we'll sing

And we'll hueoch and we'll swing

And we'll set to our partners in style

For there's nothing so grand in the whole

Of the land

And that there's dancing in Kyle

And we'll laugh and we'll sing

And we'll hueoch and we'll swing

And we'll set to our partners in style

For there's nothing so grand in the whole

Of the line

And to go to there's dancing in Kyle
