A Bottle and a Friend

Robbie BurnsThere's nane that's blest of human kind,

But the cheerful and the gay, man,

Fal, la, la, etc.


Here's a bottle and an honest friend!

What wad ye wish for mair, man?

Wha kens, before his life may end,

What his share may be o' care, man?


Then catch the moments as they fly,

And use them as ye ought, man:

Believe me, happiness is shy,

And comes not aye when sought, man.

Bessy and Her Spinnin' Wheel
Cock Up Your Beaver
The Fornicator
Nine Inch Will Please a Lady

Alltop will be raisin' a wee dram this evening in honour of his birthday.
