22 Jan 09 - 12:26 PM (#2546172) Subject: RE: A song for Burns Night From: GUEST,Auldtimer One of Burns' great songs but get your Mrs's to have a go at the "real" words, they are far better than this overly polite version. And get her to speed it up a wee bit as well. This is a song of love and joy not only from past times but here and now and it is supposed to bring out a knowing smile and a chuckle or two from the listeners. |

I shout with accusin glower Alas too late, he's just keeled ower Ye dirty bugger they shout and stare A dinnae feel welcome any mair Where e'ere ye go let yer wind gan' free |

Thanks for your other feedback. |

Ye'll bleer a' your een, John, And why do ye so? Come sooner to your bed at een, John Anderson, my jo. John Anderson, my jo, John, When first that ye began, Ye had as good a tail-tree, As ony ither man; But now its waxen wan, John, And wrinkles to and fro, I've twa gae-ups for ae gae-down, John Anderson, my jo. I'm backit like a salmon, I'm breastit like a swan; My wame it is a down-cod, My middle ye may span:; Frae my tap-knot to my tae, John, I'm like the new-fa'n snow; And it's a' for your convenience, John Anderson, my jo. O it is a fine thing To keep out o'er the dyke, But its a meikle finer thing, To see your hurdies fyke; To see your hurdies fyke, John, And hit the rising blow; It's then I like your chanter-pipe, John Anderson, my jo. When ye come on before, John, See that ye do your best; When ye begin to haud me, See that ye grip me fast; See that ye grip me fast, John, Until that I cry "Oh!" Your back shall crack or I do that, John Anderson, my jo. John Anderson, my jo, John, Ye're welcome when ye please; It's either in the warm bed Or else aboon the claes: Or ye shall hae the horns, John, Upon your head to grow; An' that's the cuckold's mallison, John Anderson, my jo. |
