Yes Dan, I wrote it. I know what you mean about the number of verses. As you say it's really a two part single verse as there's no chorus. Thanks for your kind words. Burns said he made songs like a gunsmith puts a gun together, possibly from old parts, changing the barrel for instance. In the sixties I did just that and thre are lots of songs around I have 'adjusted', hopefully for the better. Cheers, Jim McLean
