Fidyca't
Gerundive
You should hae been wi' us, Robbie
skatin' on the loch last winter
- there was a bright glint aff the north star
and the ice lay sparklin', gemmed wi' fire
beneath the snow on Beinn Davaar
You should hae been wi' us Robbie
summer courtin' in the fields
- the hay was tousled by an' by
an' the lassies a' baith blithe an' game
kent weel fit time tae cease an' sigh
You should hae been wi' us, Robbie
but you wis planned for ither things
- ye'll hae cauld quiet for the lave
wi' a coronach o' rain dreepin' through
a' the fower corners o' yer grave
