There is a song on The McCalmans album "Keeper" called "Star Of The Bar"by Davey Robertson. STAR O' THE BAR Davey Robertson A'll sing you a stave if ye'll gies yer attention It's nae song o' pity, it's no song o'woe An' nae word o' honour or love will I mention For A'll sing o' a lassie I kent long ago. Nae better than most an' nae worse than mony An' what drew me tae her's nae easy tae say She was coorse she was hertless an' she wasnae that bonny But she was the star o' the bar in her day. A' stravaiged The Royal Mile wi' her, drinking in style wi' her An' Rose Street frae end tae end often surveyed Focht an' swore in the pubs wi' her, rolled in the dubs wi' her Cadged mony subs frae her, never repaid. An ye chaps and young lassies, believe me, love soon passes An' aw yer bricht dreams is but straws in the wind Better yin wha'll sit doon wi' ye, sing a fine tune wi' ye Pass the gless roon wi' ye, drink hersel' blin'.
