Aince A had a poem
It sang in ma heid
gied me time tae rome
amang the livein an the deid

Gied me the time tae practise
the steps o an auld daunce
whaur airms linkit tae a chairm
an chain that aye wull hae chaunce

at leest in the weeist pairt
for the steps are aye weel set
in their biggest, bigget sort
an oan the wildest odds are bet

whit the orra ootcome maun be
