SOLUTION TO LAST MONTH'S CRYPTOGRAM
So, have you heard about the oyster who went to a disco and pulled a mussel?

Billy Connolly quotes (Scottish Actor)


 

Game

Can you give the titles of the song from which these lines are taken? Some are well known, others less so. Not all the lines are the first ones in the song.

1. This one has words by William Smyth and set to music by Ludwig van Beethoven
Some kind, kind friend, oh, come between,
And tell him of my alter'd mien!
That Jeanie has not Jeanie been
Since Jamie went away.

2. This is a very famous song, but perhaps not the most famous lines.

We twa hae ran about the braes,
And pou'd the gowans fine,

3.This song deals with a famous battle, as you might guess.

Many's the lad fought on that day
Well the claymore did wield
When the night came, silently lain
Dead on Culloden field

4. Not an easy one but this song deals with the Black Watch and the king's shilling

And it's over the mountain and over the Main,
Through Gibralter, to France and Spain.
Pit a feather tae your bonnet, and a kilt aboon your knee,
Enlist my bonnie laddie and come awa with me.
Oh laddie ye dinna ken the danger that yer in.
If yer horses was to fleg, and yer owsen was to rin,
This greedy ole farmer, he wouldna pay yer fee.
Sae list my bonnie laddie and come awa wi' me

5. This one is pretty hard and also in dialect to boot. The words in the parenthesis are the more familiar forms of the word

The man hit the boy, tho he wasne his farra, (father)
The man hit the boy, tho he wasne his farra
And the boy stood and glowered; he was hurt tae the marra. (marrow)
