Hello, I'm looking for help with the lyrics of a bothy song which begins: "Oh, did ye see a tinkie's camp upon a summer's nicht The nicht afore the market, a' things goin' richt. Come a' ye tramps and hawkers, come by hill and dale, We gaithered in the gloamin' at the [Moss o' Burrowdale."] The chorus begins: "When ale was only tuppence, a tanner bought a gill." It's sung in the Doric, and being Aberdeenshire-dialect-impaired, I can't make out all the words. Any references to a written version would be appreciated! (I can't find it in the big 7 vol. Grieg-Duncan set, or by searching on the lyrics above on line.) thanks in advance for any help, k.
