TamthebamfraeScotland,
One quick point about GStQ, You got the verses out of order, the 'General Wade' verse is somewhere about verse 5 or 6, and as most people don't even remember verse 2, it's more often forgotten than not - Anyway, as the original first verse was completely re-written in 1827, it seems likely that that verse can be officially, as well as practically, dropped without worry.
