- Bottle Of Gin
I'm going down to the corner
To buy me a bottle of gin
I'm going down to the corner
To buy me a bottle of gin
I'm thru with this whisky
Whisky drinkin's a sin
I'm tired of people talking 'bout the shape I'm in
- Everything I Love
Everything I Love (Harley Allen and Carson Chamberlain)
Coffee keeps me up and I can't sleep.
When I drink too much then I can't eat.
Losing you has led me to believe
Everything I love is killin' me.
Everything I love is killin' me;
- More Than Just
Take clear water from the hill
And barley from the lowlands
Take a master craftsman's skill
And something harder to define
Like secrets in the shape of coppered still
Or the slow silent magic work of time
Whisky you're the devil in disguise
- The Soldier Maid
When I was a fair maid at the age of sweet sixteen,
From my parents I did run away a soldier to become;
I enlisted in the army a soldier for to be,
And they learned me to play upon the rub-a-dub-a-dee.
Chorus :
With my nice cap and feathers, if you could have only seen,
You'd have sworn that in your very heart a young man I had been;
- The Summer Of '46
1. The summer was a long one, always on the run
Moving through the moonlit night, resting in the sun
They say that you were cheerful, like a child in chasing play
Or a gambler guessing recklessly when someone else will pay
2. Through the western highlands, round the western isles
An adventure trail through beauty over countless weary miles
Slipping like a shadow into legend out of chance

Chorus:
It's twelve and a tanner a bottle
That's what it's costin' today
Twelve and a tanner a bottle
Man it tak's a' your pleasure away
Afore ye can hae a wee drappie
