"And what kind of person would write a song like that?"

Apparently, someone who was opposed to British occupation in Scotland.
It would have to be a satirical song, of course. I just liked the story and wanted to find it. Incidently, my friend and I are part of an historical re-enactment group depicting Scottish, Irish, and English Jacobites in the 18th century. Just wanted to let you know "what kind of person would want that song".
Cheers,
Wes
