Midi files, hm! I do have the sheet music in a book (along with that "Boers"
version.

I've just found this on a discussion list after searching with Google:

A Gordon for me, a Gordon for me
If your no a Gordon, yer nae yis tae me
The Black Watch are braw, the Seaforths an a'
But the Cocky wee Gordon's the pride o' them a'

Still doggerel, but possibly as near as we'll get to "real" words!

The URL above has other "Auntie Mary"s. None as good as mine, of course  ;)

Sandy,

Yes.  But I have a clever little program that can convert Midi files to
sheet music!  :)  (How do you symbolize drooling?)  Let me know if you ever
need that audio-to-visual conversion service, Sandy.  I'm not sure right
now, but I believe I can convert the output to PDFs or some other format you
can read.

Best,
Reinhard/Ron
