lyrics

Where the Dighty runs, By the fairy dell
Where the rowan tree hangs above the well
There are no cascades, falls or roaring weirs
But there are beauty spots, where the Dighty runs.

Where the Dighty runs by a hawthorn tree
Where I first met the one who was dearest to me
Every nook and cranny, we knew its ins and outs
Lovingly we walked, where the Dighty runs.

Where the Dighty runs, near the old Mains Den
Children freely play, all the games they know,
When at night the moon looks down,
Lovers fondly walk, where the Dighty runs.

Where the Dighty runs, I know I would be
There is no other river that is dearest to me,
When I am old and unsteady on my feet,
I will go home to die, where the Dighty Runs.
