Sandy, a heartfelt and authentically traditional-style Ballad Happy Birthday from Amba and me.

He saddled up his ae dark steed,
The gray wasnae sae earthy, O
Tae ride fu tilt to Sharon, CT
Tae Sandy Paton's bairthday, O.

(CT has to be pronounced as a single syllable here. It's part of the Folk Process. I got it by putting Connecticut in my Folk Processor and it came out nicely diced 'n sliced.)
