LYRIC ERRORS - As I wrote the above off the cuff, some time ago...
I have to correct myself in minor words. Some odd words do vary in whoever's version you hear, but generally this is the absolute way my father wrote it.


HERE'S TO SCOTTISH WHISKY
(C) 1974 Stewart Ross (MCPS, APRA etc.)

CHORUS: Here's to Scottish whisky, whisky is the thing.
It makes you feel so frisky, it makes you laugh and sing.
So let's all have a ceilidh and have a lot of fun.
Let's drink to good old whisky, there's a dram for everyone.

Now whisky is the devil, so some people say.
But that's a lot of nonsense, for we're all here today.
No evil thoughts among us, just out to have some play.
So drink your good old whisky and we'll chase our cares away. CHORUS

Wherever Scotsmen gather, no matter where they roam.
They love to get together and sing the songs of home.
"The mountains, glens and valleys... The rivers flowing free",
And always while they're singing, there's a dram, or two, or three. CHORUS

Marching o'er the heather - or strolling through the glen,
You'll always here the tourists say " We'll aye be back again'",
but it isn't just the scenery, or the days of 'Alud Lang Syne'
It's whisky good old whisky that makes the land so fine. CHORUS
