Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Drunken Piper
Davie Stewart used to sing this - it's actually on a Topic LP- Rab Collins does a great version of it at Scottish festival sessions...
Davie used to finish it with a verse probably his own??...

'Edinburgh, Musselburgh, Aberdeen a-haudie
Heechan dochan, hoochan dochan, heechan dochan aye'

(excuse my Gaelic!)

on a previous point, there has certainly been no Gaelic in Galloway for many years, but there certainly was at one time, you only have to read many of the place names to see that & what do you think Galloway actually means!
