Hello, Mudcatters,

I'm trying to figure out the first verse of "The Laird of Udny" from Archie Fisher's album w/ Garnett Rogers "Off the Map." It goes something like this:
I am the laird of Udny's wa's (walls?)
And I've come here with richt good cause
I've offered mair that thirty (fa's??)
Come (?????????) the plain

I e-mailed a note to Archie via his folk radio show a few days ago and, so far, no response. So, I'm hoping someone out there may be able to help me out. Thanks!

Sylvia
