Notes 1 In this song the bard praises whisky and he gives an outline of things that happen if you drink it. He says that it will help you to sing, that you will be lifted in your spirits but that it may also give you a headache.
Notes 2 See: The Songs of Duncan Ban MacIntyre, ed. Hugh Angus MacLeod (1978), p. 306.
