Hello all. For the line "I'm courting bonny Anny noo, Rab Tamson's kitchie dame.", when I sang (in a very amateur way, ie with the aid of a glass of Newcastle Brown) in the 1960s, this line was sung as "I'm courting bonny Annie noo, tho damsel ticht she be.", meaning she was scarcely a fresh young girl. I have no idea whose version this was, but my godfather, who was from Dundee, understood all the words I sang, and was amused by them.
