“Ta Skelp Auld Hornie Awa’”

The 2nd of 21 verses from Robert Burns’ poem:

"Address to the Deil"

Hear me, auld Hangie, for a wee,
An’ let poor, damned bodies bee;
I’m sure sma’ pleasure it can gie,
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Ev’n to a deil,
To skelp an’ scaud poor dogs like me,
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ‘An hear us squeel!

~ Robert Burns

X:2 Schott through to swing 4/4…

This is the same melody but taken more relaxed, straight or swung, and given here with the swing… That would be something we’ve discussed previously, a ‘ballroom polka’, or as a schottische…
