Thee, Hamilton and Aiken dear,
A grateful, warm adieu!
I, with a much indebted tear,
Shall still remember you.
All hail then, the gail then,
Wafts me from thee, dear shore!
It rustles and whistles -
I'll never see thee more!

give the old boy some respect, and read some of his works - i recommend one of my favourites.

I've managed to be stranded in England for it. A grave mistake on my part, and I'm not sure how I managed it.
A toast to Rabbie, yes! Which musical rendering of "Red Red Rose" do you like best?
i like it best just left to the words.
Interesting point. I can't imagine myself NOT singing that song, but I haven't found any recording of it that I like, so I think I agree with you 50%.
