Folk songs tell a story

   Amang the Trees - - Amang the trees, where humming bees - At buds and flowers were hinging, O, - Auld Caledon drew out her drone, - And to her pipe was singing, O. - 'Twas Pibroch, Sang, Strathpeys, and Reels, - She dirl'd them aff fu' clearly, O, - When there cam a yell o' foreign squeels, - That dang her tapsalteerie, O! 2. Their capon craws an' quer 'ha, ha's,' - - hey made our lugs grow eerie, O - The hungry bike did scrape and pike, - Till we were wae and weary, O. - But a royal ghaist, wha ance was cas'd - A prisoner aughteen year awa, - He fir'd a Fiddler in the North, - That dang them tapsalteerie, O!
