Summary
A street song collected in Aberdeen [by A. L. Lloyd]:
Oh I thocht when I wore the kilt
I could dance frae Tay tae Forth
Trauchlin up and doon the street
Whistlin the 'Cock o the North'.
But aa the kids they shouted,
"Awa mon wha're ye kiddin?
"Instead o bein the Cock o the North
"Ye're only the cock o the midden."
