Summary

Enlistment / press gang song. Three men were on the Scottish mainland; one of them signed up for the army while under the influence of drink. He is disappointed in the other two that they didn't keep him back or didn't tie him to their boat's mast. He mentions the barracks at Ardersier (Fort George) and that they are in tents without flooring.
