Nice job, love your guitar tone, great smoky barroom vocals, solid lyrics.

THE SCOTTISH SONG
By David Snyder

Note: It was hard to make out what the drinking Scots were saying, but I did my best.

V1

Molly had a pint of beer
she took up in her croft??
and wee Seamus wore his hat
with more than lobster pots?

and 'er the lads from Shetland??
wore kilts with tiny spots
blessed lads would keep them hanging?????
but preachers they were not

CH

and Ireland's not a motherland
and England it can rot
and you can go someday to Canada
if you're a handsome Scot

V2

If Molly had the wee thing???
and it's hidden in her socks
then Seamus will take off his kilt???
and show his Scottish locks???
it might be the Loch Ness monster
that is creepin to the docks
but before the night is over
he'll be at Molly's croft???

CH

and Ireland's not a motherland
and England it can rot
and you can go someday to Canada
if you're a handsome Scot

V3

Bha peant lionn aig Molly
thog i air a chroit ??
agus chuir Seamus 'eudach air
le barrachd air poitean ghiomach?

CH

agus chan e dùthaich mhàthaireil a th’ ann an Èirinn??
agus Sasainn faodaidh e grodadh???
agus faodaidh tu falbh uair-eigin do Chanada ???
mas e Albannach eireachdail a th’ annad?
???

CH

Aye!

and Ireland's not a motherland
and England it can rot
and you can go someday to Canada
if you're a handsome Scot

The Scottish Song

Well it's so hard, to know what a woman has on her mind
It's impossible to know just what she's thinking about
Just a look from her, oh, can leave you breathless
Or mess your mind so bad, you don't know what to do or what to say

If you have ever, if you ever, ever,  loved a woman
And looked into her eyes until, until you lost control
Well you know, yeah you know, there is no salvation
You're gonna stay right there, wrapped up in her charms, and drown.

There's no easy answer that I know, just hold on and don't let go and  love   Love that woman
She might be right she might be wrong really doesn't matter just hold on, and love, Love that woman

There ain't no way to save your soul all the pain and misery
The good times, oh yeah those good times, enjoy them while they last
One day you'll be thinking  the sun is shining, shining oh so brightly
Next thing you know you're standing in the pouring rain

No easy answer that I know, just hold on and don't let go and  love   Love that woman
She might be right she might be wrong really doesn't matter just hold on, and love, Love that woman   
Oh, love that woman....yeah gotta love that woman, oh yeah,gotta love that woman. 
Yeah, you gotta Love that girl.

Love That Woman
