A Song of the Lade..........HomepageA Scottish song you can hear and join in - at the Saturday night ceilidh in the Lade Inn - Kilmahog near Callander, Scotland

Singin' I'll sing if you will so will I.
We've a song to sing so you must not be shy
Come and join us in the singin'
Till w e set the rafters ringin'
And we'll entertain thefolks that's passin' by

  1. There's a place at Kilmahog they ca' the Lade
    Where the food an' drink is magic it’s been said
    And I'm told that they are able, to serve you at the table
    Wi’ lassies wearin’ bonnie tartan plaid
    Chorus
  2. The proprieters would like to make it kent
    That the Lade's a place where we should all frequent
    An’ we're welcome for to stay, or come back another day
    Each drink’s a contribution to the rent
    Chorus
  3. There's folks in here thats come from near and far
    By shanks’s pony, bicycle and car
    From Stornoway to Devon, they think it's total heaven
    When they join us at the ceilidh in the bar

    Chorus
  4. Bring your fiddle, your accordion, your flute
    Your bagpipes or your medieval lute
    Banjo, bodram or guitar, or come just as you are
    And if ye canna sing -just stamp your foot
    Chorus
    .
    In exotic foreign places we have stayed
    But those memories will quickly fade
    At Kilmahog when we turn W est, to the place that we love best
    To join ye at the ceilidh, at the Lade
    Chorus
