The Corries - Ae Fond Kiss



"To make a happy fireside clime To weans and wife, That's the true pathos and sublime Of human life."
-Robert Burns, Epistle to Dr. Blacklock

ER also has a good version of the song, and, like Mrs S, a nice Burns tribute : http://endlesslyrestless.blogspot.com/2008/01/ayrshire-connections.html
