Iain Ingram's 'Drunk Wille' (tune is original so you'll need to catch me or Iain at a session sometime to get it - - -!)

Tae the bar Drunk Willie clutches lest he totters
Like a limpet tae a rock in stormy waters
Doon amang his boots the foamin' slops
Are a swirlin' sea o' barley, rye and hops
And it's in the pub ye'll find him every evenin'
He's the last wan oot when ev'rybody's leavin'
See him stumble up his close the wife tae greet
And all the times he's had his denner ower his heid
