He's singing in 'Scots' not in early English.

Gentle Reader, While I don't care for the language directed at me (whether I was right or wrong), it also is true that Burns collected Scottish traditional tunes and in fact was an important person in making sure this music was not lost.
He also set a great deal of his poetry to these tunes or variants he created to better suit the poetry. These creations are known as Burns songs, this recording is one of those songs.
He may also have created his own tunes entirely, of this I am not sure.

@godstargodstar I would say there was 4 Glasgow accents.And most Paisley Buddies,could easily get mistaken for a South side Glasweigan.Anyway I was wanting to leave a nice comment about this guys rendition of this song.It liked it it was full off heart and passion and good musicionship.OK he was hardly sounding very Ayrshire.But who cares they dont talk like Burns in Ayrshire anymore.I know I was brought up there.Even though I am a Glasweigan.But love Burns work,never thought much when a kid

Today is Daniel Hernandez birthday as well. He just turned 21. He is credited with helping to save the life of Arizona Representative Gabrielle Giffords in the critical moments after she was shot in the head. So I'd like to dedicate at least one playing of this video to Daniel.

Lionel McClellend is better. They didnt approve my comment right away. But I said, if this song is taken off youtube, it will be the day that I die. So go listen to his version of it please as well.
