They came doon the water on the Waverley, sailed doon the Clyde for a weekend away. Got oot the city, got oot the noise, left aw the pollution for fresh air and joys. Chorus Doon the water tae Dunoon, what a bonnie wee holiday toon. Plenty hotels, plenty o' bars, plenty o' weather, no many cars. Pebbled beaches, East and West Bay, wee ones paddlin', splashin' away. An ice cream fae the café on the Rock, then crazy golf doon the West Bay prom. Chorus Doon the water tae Dunoon, what a bonnie wee holiday toon. Plenty hotels, plenty o' bars, plenty o' weather, no many cars. Hotels and guest houses, pubs and cafés, plenty tae keep ye busy for days. A walk on the prom, the fresh Cowal air, bonnie green hills and scenery tae spare. Boardin' the steamer, grabbin' a seat, watchin' the Clyde as she sailed doon the deep. Past Gourock she sailed, wi' the gulls overhead, Dunoon in the distance, the hills up ahead. Final Chorus Doon the water tae Dunoon, what a bonnie wee holiday toon. Plenty hotels, plenty o' bars, plenty o' weather, no many cars. Aye, doon the water tae Dunoon! what a bonnie wee holiday toon. Plenty hotels, plenty o' bars, plenty o' weather, no many cars. Aye, doon the water tae Dunoon! Andy.B 03. 11. 2026
