'Deed, and there's one song o' mine I always sing alone.

It's "The Wee Hoose Amang the Heather." And every time I appear, I think, there's some one asks for that.
Whiles I think I've sung a song sae often everyone must be tired of it.

I'm fond o' that wee song masel', and it was aye John's favorite, among all those in my repertory.

But it seems I canna sing it often enough, for more than once, when I've not sung it, the audience hasna let me get awa' without it.

I'll ha' gie'n as many encores as I usually do; I'll ha' come back, maybe a score of times, and bowed.
