Thanks for the link. Ah kythe the wairds weel... but the sang itsel is brilliant. It's a parody o the lang-standin popular idolatry o tartan heroes an aa. Here's the refrain: "Wha's like us? Damn few an they're aa deid. When ye think we'll lose, success is guaranteed. When winning is sairten, watch us bleed-- Wha's like us? Damn few an they're aa deid." An the first verse: "Lost causes found a hame in Scotland the Brave Dashing thro the heather--or hiding in a cave We took a drunken Frenchman and tried tae mak him king-- What dae we say when he runs away? "Will ye no come back again..." I'll post a query & see if I can track the author doon. Just thocht ye micht ken!
