As for me, my personal favorite line is the last one in the original verses: "And I'm not exactly like you..." so I tend to prefer that this be the last line sung. But of course, songs shift and grow once they've gone out there. I cannot control them, just gift them. | As for me, my personal favorite line is the last one in the original verses: "And I'm not exactly like you..." so I tend to prefer that this be the last line sung.

Notes
Additional verses are welcome. Please feel free to write your own personal verses, household verses, lines for your Barony or Shire, for your friends, for yourselves. Please also feel free to add them here, and the authors (if you choose).
As for me, my personal favorite line is the last one in the original verses: "And I'm not exactly like you..." so I tend to prefer that this be the last line sung. But of course, songs shift and grow once they've gone out there. I cannot control them, just gift them. Sincerely, Dame Eilidh Swann
