Strum
D-DU-UDU
 O  my Luve's  like  a red, red  rose,
 That's newly sprung  in June:
 O my Luve's like  the melodie,
 That's sweetly play'd  in tune.
 As fair  art thou,  my bonie lass,
 So deep  in luve  am I;
 And I  will luve  thee still,  my dear,
 Till a'  the seas  gang dry.
 Till a'  the seas  gang dry,  my dear,
 And the rocks  melt wi'  the sun;
 And I  will luve  thee still,  my dear,
 While the sands  o' life  shall run.
 And fare-thee-weel,  my only  Luve!
 And fare-thee-weel,  a while!
 And I  will come  again,  my Luve,
 Tho' 'twere  ten thousand mile!
 Track 2 : Old Scots Drink
 Gie him drink  until he wink,
 He that's sinking  in despair;
 And liquor guid  to fire his bluid,
 That's prest  wi' grief and care:
 There let him bouse,  an' deep carouse,
 Wi' bumpers  flowing o'er,
 Till he forgets  his loves or debts,
 An' minds  his griefs no more
 
Well  your sittin in the corner,
A  fair, dram in yer hand (pronounced hon)
An'  Yer pickin up the pieces,
Though  you can barely stand (pronounced ston)
An'  yeh picture her fine face,
All,  gleaming white,
As  yer tryin to find yer way home,
In  the - dead of night.
You  whisper in the darkness,
Even  Though she cannot hear,
A  soft, but clear, I love you,
A  love a-washed with fear.
An'  its the drink that does the talkin,
When  the police pick you up,
When  youve been lying on the pavement,
On  the filth an' grime an' muck
But  just before you know it,
Yer  in the back eh' a squad car,
Givin  those poor coppers hastle,
Wishin,  you're back at the bar.
Coz  the drink is dryin up now,
An'  head is feelin sore,
A  night spent at the station,
Before  breaking down your own back door,
Because  you lost the key that evening,
Somewhere  along the road,
Coz  you cant escape the mindset,
Of  not doin what your told.
Coz  life it aint that easy,
When  every day is just the same,
When  every body's just plain boring,
When  no - body knows your name.
WHEN NOBODY KNOWS YOUR NAME
WHEN NOBODY KNOWS YOUR NAME
LIFE IS NOT THAT EASY
WHEN NOBODY KNOWS YOUR NAME
 so
 Gie him drink  until he wink,
 He that's sinking  in despair;
 And liquor guid  to fire his bluid,
 That's prest  wi' grief and care:
 There let him bouse,  an' deep carouse,
 Wi' bumpers  flowing o'er,
 Till he forgets  his loves or debts,
 An' minds  his griefs no more

 Lyrics:
 Earth'd up,  here lies an imp  o' hell,
 Planted  by Satan's dib-ble;
 Poor silly  wretch, he's damned himsel',
 To save  the Lord the trou-ble.
 Then the song progresses as usual.
 Track 4: For Scotland Lads!
Scots,  wha hae  wi' Wallace bled,
Scots,  wham Bruce  has aften led,
Welcome  to  your gory bed,
 Or to Victorie!
Now's  the day,  and now's the hour;
See  the front  o' battle lour;
See  approach proud  Edward's power-
 Chains and Slaverie!
Wha  will be  a traitor knave?
Wha  can fill  a coward's grave?
Wha  sae base  as be a Slave?
 Let him turn and flee!
Wha,  for Scotland's  King and Law,
Freedom's sword  will strongly draw,
Free-man stand,  or Free-man fa',
 Let him on wi' me!
By  Oppression's  woes and pains!
By  your Sons  in servile chains!
We  will drain  our dearest veins,
 But they shall be free!
Lay  the proud  Usurpers low!
Tyrants fall  in every foe!
Liberty's  in every blow!-
 Let us Do or Die!
 Track 5 : Beware A' Bonnie Ann'
 Ye gallants bright,  I rede  you right,
 Beware  o' bonie Ann;
 Her comely face  sae fu'  o' grace,
 Your heart  she will trepan:
 Her een  sae bright,  like stars  by night,
 Her skin  sae like  the swan;
 Sae jimply lac'd  her genty waist,
 That sweetly  ye might span.
 Intrumental:
Youth, Grace,  and Love  attendant move,
 And pleasure leads  the van:
 In a'  their charms,  and conquering arms,
 They wait  on bonie Ann.
 The captive bands  may chain  the hands,
 But love  enslaves  the man:
 Ye gallants braw,  I rede  you a',
 Beware  o' bonie Ann!
 But be aware - make any money off these songs and ill be expecting payment -
 - if i dont recieve any - ill get you :@
 lol
