Yes, you're absolutely right Scott. I just lifted it from this link

http://www.theotherpages.org/poems/part2/jacob01.html

and only scanned the text. Looked like a credible sort of site and I was really looking for 'gusiers' I didn't examine the footnotes. The old kailyard poetry...

In fact, I think I was looking elsewhere and found some obviously wrong lyrics ( the drookit curls' a great line, was obviously wrong somewhere else and I made assumptions). Such is life. It's a fine poem and a great simple melody that draws out every nuance
