Thread Name: Lyr Req: Star o' Robbie Burns (Thomson, Booth)
Subject: RE: LYRICS FOR STAR OF RABBIE BURNS
Rab was hardly an 'old' lecher as he was only 37 when he died! That's not that old, is it? I'm getting up there, so I am! And even if he was a lecher, which he undoubtedly was, he still preserved the songs of old Scotland which would have disappeared by now if he hadn't cared about them. He assuredly deserves to be honoured every January. Anyway, its a good excuse for a knees-up and that's what Rab liked best of all!
