I suppose you'll never read this post, you were writing 12 years ago... but I wanted to thank you. I'm italian, and I've always been playing this song, but I didn't get every single word, although my english is quite good - not my scottish, alas! This is one of my all time favourite songs. I've been looking for this lyrics for 12 years, and today reading them is like hearing this song for the first time. I'm lucky, I had the chance to feel this marvel twice. Thank you, I hope your life is prosper and your guitar always twanging near your heart.
