C J Dennis - Kilts, Ye KenC J Dennis - Kilts, Ye Ken
Work rating: Low


Noo, ye ken, we`ll see `em agen,   Waggling doon the street, While the baton twirls an` the piper skirls   To the beat of the marching feet. Left -- right -- glimmerin` bright,   Buttons and cairngorms shine; While the pipes give forth "The Cock o` the North" --   Ho!  The kilts are in the line! Far an` faint ye hear the plaint   Comin` adoon the breeze, Closer it comes, wi` the crackle o` drums   An` the lift o` the naked knees. Left -- right -- was ever a sight   Finer by burn or glen? Wi` the tunes ye know, like the auld "Keel Row" --   `Tis the march o` the Cameron men. Pageantry it ever shall be   An asset in any land. But the lad who`s built to carry a kilt -   Losh, mon!  But he is grand; Steppin` along to some auld song --   Or a war chant tipped wi` flame. `Tis the kilt -- the kilt!  An` the pibroch`s lilt   Callin` us -- callin` us hame.
