Years ago I heard a rude little poem [probably no tune] that starts:


Shauney MacLean was a Hielandman,

And he cam frae Tobermory,

And he wore a kilt o the clan MacLean

That nae mair than covered his glory.



I have some more, but that should do it. What I'm after is the complete words.

JOCK'S NAE WORRIED THE NOO

Jock McLean was a Hieland lad,
And he came from Tobermory.
His kilt was of the real McLean
That nae mair than covered his glory.

The kilt in the weather began tae shrink
Till it barely covered his hurdie,
An Jock was amazed one morn tae find
That it didnae cover his burdie.

Tae buy a new kilt wid cost bawbees
And he couldna aye wear his best yin;
While to cut a piece off the burdie itsel
Was a thing clean oot o the question.

Sae he thocht and he thocht, and the mair he thocht,
'Til a thocht through his head came dartin',
And he took and painted the burdie's head
Til it couldnae be told frae the tartan!
