Robin Madge Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I would have a look at the lyrics stored at www.mudcat.org. There's bound to be something there for you and probably some that are too bawdy as well! Robin Madge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptarmigan Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) Well as it's Burns Day today, I couldn't help throwing one of his into the melting pot. Is that a bawdy enough title for you? Cock up your Beaver! The Tune is frae the Borders: Incidentally, did you see that they recently found an unpublished Robert Burns letter in Floors Castle! "The 222-year-old letter, which has been hailed as a "remarkable literary discovery" by Burns experts, was unearthed in Floors Castle in Kelso.""Dated 13 May 1789, it is addressed to James Gregory, the then head of Edinburgh's medical school." Robert Burns letter discovered in castle 1789 to 2011 ...... aye, that's the postal service for ye!
