No one admires a great actor in a great play more than I do, and one of the few things that ever makes me sorry my work is what it is is that I can sae seldom sit me doon in a stall in a theatre and watch a play through.

But, after a', why should I envy any other man his work?
I do my best.

I study life, and the folk that live it, and in my small way I try to represent life in my songs.

It's my way, after a', and it's been a gude way for me.

No, I'm no sorry I'm just a music hall singer.
I've done a bit o' acting.
