NOW THAT I\'M OLD ~ I no travel far
By bus into town ~ nae longer by car
See the Pensioner\'s Film or prop oop the bar
NOW THAT I\'M OLD ~ I no travel far !
NOW THAT I\'M OLD ~ I\'ll no luv agen
Not like I loved JEAN ~ yon lass ah called HEN
A lass frae the Highlands frae a wee BUT \'N BEN
NOW THAT I\'M OLD ~ I\'ll no luv agen !
NOW THAT I\'M OLD ~ I\'ll no wear mah KILT
If the wind is too braw ~ mah willy will wilt !
It nae good cryin\' when yon milk has been spilt
NOW THAT I\'M OLD ~ I\'ll no wear mah KILT !
NOW THAT I\'M OLD ~ I\'ve become a Quaker
Cause one day soon ~ I\'ll meet mah MAKER
BIBLE in hand ~ no a wee Whiskey Chaser
NOW THAT I\'M OLD ~ I\'ve become a Quaker !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Luv BRIAN XOX
I used to visit an elderly Scottish Gentleman (80+)
who taught me how to pronounce the Poetry o\'
Rabbie Burns ! This was an unfinished draft o\' a
Wee Ode I was given by Ian McArthur ~ ENJOY !
If you\'ve no been tae THE EDINBURGH TATTOO
Mon ye hae nae lived ! The massed PIPES \'n DRUMS
playing \"SCOTLAND the BRAVE brings PRIDE tae
your Heart an\' you\'ll pipe your eye ! I\'ve enough Scots
Blue Blood in mah veins to be inspired by the PIPES !
