Scottish Ex-pats ©

When I look at Scottish "Ex-pat" sites
I often wonder why.
It’s always, "Do you know me?"
From that pen pal in the sky.

You never went to "ragged" schools
It wis always tae the 'heigh'
Yer hame is in Milngavie
And never in "Mull-guy"

I know a man who planned a 'do'
Said "Who knows me? I’m hame!"
The two town drunks enjoyed it,
They were the only ones that came.

So--if I lent ye oney money,
(And I think ye owe me still?)
An’ yer ready noo fur deein
If there’s siller in yer will?

"Ah’m John! I really love ye, and ken ye weel!!"

But if you really want to know your friends,
Just look about and see,
The ones around that you feel and touch,
Are better far, than me.
