“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:
