Afternoon all,

Love makes the world go round? Not at all. Whisky makes it go round twice as fast ? Compton Mackenzie

The Deil's Awa'

The deil cam fiddlin' thro' the town,
And danc'd awa wi' the Exciseman,
And ilka wife cries 'Auld Mahoun,
I wish you luck o' the prize, man.'
The deil's awa, the deil's awa,
The deil's awa wi' the Exciseman,
He's danc'd awa, he's danc'd awa,
He's danc'd awa wi' th' Exciseman.

We'll mak our maut and we'll brew our drink,
We'll laugh, sing and rejoice, man
And mony braw thanks to the meikle black deil
That danc'd awa wi' th' Exciseman.

There's threesome reels, there's four­some reels,
There's hornpipes and strathspeys, man,
But the ae best dance e'er cam to the Land,
Was The deil's awa wi' th' Exciseman!

Robert Burns
