Folk songs tell a story

   Andrew An' His Cutty Gun - - Chorus: - Blythe, blythe, blythe was she, - Blythe was she but and ben, - An' weel she lo'ed it in her neive, - But better when it slippit in. - When a' the lave gaed tae their bed, - And I sat up to clean the shoon, - O wha think ye cam jumpin' ben - But Andrew and his cutty gun. - Chorus: - - - 2. Or e'er I wist he laid me back, - And up my gamon to my chin, - And ne'er a word to me he spak, - But liltit oot his cutty gun.

 
 

Quotations about Scottish Folk Bands.      

Quotations about scottish folk bands and their instruments crop up throughout literature. Here are some quotations:-

There are in the music of the violin ... accents so closely akin to those ofcertain contralto voices that one has the illusion that a singer has taken her place amid the orchestra. One raises one’s eyes, and sees only the wooden case, delicate as a Chinese box, but at moments, one is still tricked by the Siren’s deceiving call; at times too, one thinks one is listening to a captive genie struggling in the darkness of the sapient, quivering and enchanted box, like a devil immersed in a stoup of holy water; sometimes, again, it is in the air, at large, like a pure and supernatural being that unfolds its invisible message as it goes by. Marcel Proust
