Subject: Dorian Toungetwister...
I'm looking for the lyrics to a Aberdonian/Dorian song. Probably a nightmare to sing (and for a Norwegian - to understand). It's set to a jig I think, and no - it's not in the DT.

Here are some of the fragments I've been able to dechiffer and remember:

"...alang cam' a lassie, and she offered me a kiss - an offer I would never think of scorning..."

"...tall lassies, short lassies, big lassies, wee lassies, all sort of lassies..... but the flow'r o' them all was little Peggy (?)...."

"... now, you never saw a horse like my old horse Bob....."

"...... head as yellow as a big Swed nepe...."
