favorite SCOTTISH song?: "How about the ones were LEARNED at school:

Aunty Mary hid a canary
Up the leg o` her drawers.
She p...d her breeks
For sixty weeks,
An` it ne`er came doon anymore.

OLDER VERSION

Aunty Mary hid a canaray
Up the leg o' her drawers
It cursed the Boors
Fer oors an' oors
An' it won the Victoria Cross.

Any other versions of this intriguing love story?

heard on BBC 3 Jazz this afternoon
Prince Charles knows this song
and his grandmother loved it too - but which words?


Concluding notes: "David Dalton

'Aunty Mary, had a canary, up the leg of her drawers [trad line]
The canary said to the worm, won't you come for tea
The worm replied, sure my dear, if you kiss me 1-2-3'
(to the tune Aunty Mary, also known as Cock of the North)"
