about

One of the best songs on the album, I think. Hamish sings it well and he has a good text to work with. It's a song about a lady's advice to an alcoholic and here are just a couple of lines that ring true to me:
"Then drive us not away wi' your drinkin' O
We like your presence mair than your thinkin' O"
Ain't that the truth?
