Sure. It helps if you understand Scots, and you've got drunk with Hamish Henderson a few times. Mostly it's utterly filthy, and the lines which aren't are nonsense syllables put in to make it scan.

Umm. The one version by a Scottish group that I've got is not sufficiently Scottish sounding for comprehension to be impeded by accent. Or so it sounds to my ears... But I hadn't realised that it was filthy - I thought it was ALL nonsense. Anyone wanting to learn more, you'll find both versions I've got on this set: <http://www.swarb.com/index.php> (the record firm is such that the artists *DO* get properly paid, if you should happen to buy a copy) Rowland. -- Remove the animal for email address: rowland.mcdonnell(a)dog.physics.org Sorry - the spam got to me http://www.mag-uk.org http://www.bmf.co.uk UK biker?

Translation here: http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=117836 Actually it's all meaningful. No nonsense at all! Phil Taylor

Trivial? It's in 14/8 time. Have you ever tried to sing it? Phil Taylor

No nonsense at all! Well I never... I shouldn't really be surprised, should I? Thing is, all of my previous efforts to find out *ANYTHING* about the words to Tail Taddle had drawn a total blank - no information was forthcoming about the contents from *MY* Web searching, quite extensive searching too. I couldn't even find the untranslated lyrics. And does anyone really need `quoth' explained? That one's standard English, innit? Nevermore, croaked Jackanory.
