Chords for Top Floor Taivers ft. Joss Stone - Scotland

_ Alright, so here we are in Scotland, in Glasgow.
This is Top Floor Tavers.
And we're going to sing you a little song now.
Tell me what it's about.
Because it's a bit hard for me to figure out these words.
Yeah, yeah.
The song is in Scots.
Right.
There's a lot of words in there that are quite unusual.
It's interesting because it's English, but then it's not.
Yeah, it's a really old traditional ballad.
It's what uses a lot of the old Scots words.
Yeah.
It's great.
Do you speak this language, like, with your mates?
Not so much.
Not so much.
Do they teach it in school?
Some skills, yeah.
Good.
You've got to keep this alive.
I've never come across this before.

Guess what that means?
To the woods he goes?
To the woods.
Do not go.
Do not go.
Oh, OK.
Do not go.
OK, right.
So this is about a chap that wants to go to the woods.
And his mum's like that.
Yeah, he says, don't go. Don't go.
Don't go to this area of the woods.
And he does.
And it gets violent.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
OK, let's do it.
We can change the ending later.
