When the sun has gone to rest that's the time that we love the best Oh it's lovely roamin' in the gloamin' One nicht in the gloamin' we were trippin' side by side I kissed her twice and I asked her once if she would be my bride She was shy and so was I we were both the same But I got brave and braver on the journey comin' hame Roamin' in the gloamin' on the bonnie banks o' Clyde Roamin' in the gloamin' wae my lassie by my side. When the sun has gone to rest that's the time that we love the best Oh it's lovely roamin' in the gloamin' Last nicht efter strollin' we got in at half past nine And sitting at the kitchen fire I asked her to be mine When she promised I got up and I danced the highland fling I've just been to the jeweller's and I bought her a bonnie wee ring. Roamin' in the gloamin' on the bonnie banks o' Clyde Roamin' in the gloamin' wae my lassie by my side. When the sun has gone to rest that's the time that we love the best Oh it's lovely roamin' in the gloamin' Oh it's lovely roamin' in the gloamin'
