Well, maybe Jack doesn't like them much, but here are Jim Malcolm's words to the Lochanside tune fwiw. I don't dislike them, but probably just prefer to play the tune. The tune has 3 sections and Jim sings his song as follows: AA BB C AA BB CC (where A, B and C refer to sections, not keys!!) LOCHANSIDE Lyrics: Jim Malcolm Pipe Tune Lochanside by PM J McLellan of Dunoon Come the winter, cold and dreary Brings the hawk doon frae the high scree Tae the whins where snowy hares hide All aroun the Lochanside Come the spring, the land lies weary Till the sun shines out sae cheery, Brings the bloom, for all of June's pride All aroun the Lochanside. If you'd been you'd have seen the scatter O' the peezies o'er the machair, When above the tawny owl glides All around the Lochanside. And the heron he comes a-creeping Through the rashes so green and dreeping Tae the pool where wily trout slide All around the Lochanside. Aye if you ever hae a reason Tae be here in ony season Come and try the barley bree in Round the fire on Lochanside. Summer time the fish are louping, Dippers in the burnies couping, Swallows fly from dawn til even-tide All around the Lochanside. By the autumn, the pinks are winging Blaeberries o'er the moors are hinging Salmon through the surging spate fight All around the Lochanside. If ye'd been ye'd have seen the scatter O the peezies o'er the machair, When above the tawny owl glides All around the Lochanside. And the heron he comes a-creeping Through the rashes so green and dreeping Tae the pool where wily trout slide All around the Lochanside. Aye if you ever hae a reason, Tae be here in ony season, Come and try the barley bree in Round the fire on Lochanside Aye if you ever hae a notion Tae be welcomed with devotion Travel home o'er any ocean Tae be here on Lochanside.
