Leaving for Scotland in ONE WEEK!

Leigh and I leave for Scotland in one week and we are starting to get really excited! To get in the Scotland frame of mind, we listened to some wonderful traditional Scottish songs. I am loving this one:

(Of course you have to sing it in a Scottish accent...)

Donald, Where's Yer Troosers?

Just got in from the Isle of Skye

I'm not very big and I'm awfully shy

The lassies shout as I go by

Donald where's your troosers?

• Chorus:

Let the winds blow high,

Let the winds blow low,

Down the street in my kilt I go

And all the lassies say hello

Donald where's your troosers? 

A lassie took me to a ball

And it was slippery in the hall

I was afraid that I would fall

'Cause I didn't have on my troosers

• Chorus:

They'd like to wed me everyone

Just let them catch me if they can

You canna put the brakes on a highland man

Who doesn't like wearing troosers.

• Chorus:

To wear the kilt is my delight

It isn't wrong, I know it's right.

The highlanders would get afright

If they saw me in my troosers.

• Chorus:

Well I caught a cold and me nose was raw

I had no handkerchief at all

So I hiked up my kilt and I gave it a blow,

Now you can't do that with troosers.

• Chorus:

Meaning of unusual words:

troosers=trousers (or pants in the US)
