“The far Cuillins are pullin' me away, 
As take I wi' my crummack to the road. 
The far Cuillins are puttin' love on me, 
As step I wi' the sunlight for my load.”

‘The Road to the Isles’ a trad. Scots song

Unusual words: 
crummack - a shepherd's crook

You know what a crook is? Any walking stick will do. Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be. Harry Lauder used to sing this song. You can find him online. Here’s 1 min. 50 sec. of the tune:
