(Scottish Folk Song)

[Verse]
Half-cut in a kilt, dancing free,
Through meadows green, a sight to see.
Sprinklers twirl in the summer’s glee,
As I stumble on, wild and carefree.

[Chorus]
He left the pub, his path unbent,
His wife’s concern, her thoughts lament.
Expected home, the hour’s ascent,
But where he roams, remains unkent.

[Verse]
Lost in the fields, beneath the sky,
Avoiding hazards as I wander by.
Laughing loud, with naught to shy,
In this Scottish spirit, I defy.

[Chorus]
He left the pub, the road he wends,
Leaving questions for his friends.
His absence stretches, it never ends,
The night descends, his tale suspends.

[Bridge]
Underneath the stars, I stride,
In my kilt, I revel, my joy untied.
In this moment, I’ll abide,
Through the night, my spirit guide.

[Chorus]
He left the pub, his steps ascend,
His whereabouts, a mystery, a blend.
His journey’s course, he won’t amend,
In shadows cast, his figure bends.
