Does anyone know the lyrics to this Scottish song?

The song begins with:

Let's dance again to the old Scottish Waltz,

Let's deal a kiss while they play that melody.....

Thank you.

I'm still looking for the lyrics to "Old Scottish Waltz". The song starts with "Let's dance again to the old Scottish waltz. Let's deal a kiss while they play that melody...."

Thanks.

If the songs is as rare as an any old Scottish waltz, its going to be pretty hard to find.

Correct Bruce: We never danced waltzes at our kirns. Drunks fall over when slowed down to that speed.

I have some recordings of Scottish and Cape Breton fiddling where they do play a few waltzes, but they all seem to have come from non-Scottish sources. However, if I am not mistaken Skinner wrote a few polkas.
