Max Tone Lyr Add: To a Bacon Butty ('Rabbi' Burns) (13) RE: Lyr Add: 'Rabbi' Burns - To a BACON BUTTY 29 May 01


Some translations fer Sassenachs,
Screives = writes, Wheesht = shut (up), (be) quiet, Sicht = sight, Bluid = blood, Unco = (adj)uncanny, strange,weird, (adv) uncommonly, extremely, Guid = good. Quines = women.

"Unco Guid" has come to mean "The Rigidly Righteous"; Robert Burns used (penned?) the term in the poem I used as my original:-

"Address to the Unco Guid, or the Rigidly Righteous" -- blicky Check it out -- all the Scots words are linked to translations. I hope Rabbie would approve!
