The Hylander Way

One  bonny day
I kilt me chicken,
Stirred eem inta me pot
For me soup to thicken.

I ate me some Haggis
An a scone or two,
After I kilt me cow
Ta make me stew.

Had ta put down me ol dog 
Cause he kilt me ol cat,
Then I dug heem a hole 
Way off in da back.

Den I picked up me pipes
And piped a sad lilt,
Wearing me ragged ol Tam
And me dusty ol kilt.
