On a cold windy night a woman asks a man the way to Dundee.
The Irish version has Carnlough Bay instead of Dundee, and there is no exchange of tokens.
The tune that is now usually fitted to the words is given in Colm O'Lochlainn's "Irish Street Ballads" (1939).
The Irish version of the words is "Carnlough Bay", which is in County Antrim.
Bob Dylan used the tune for the song "Walls of Red Wing" on The Bootleg Series Volumes 1–3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961–1991.
