In this second episode of Burns Banter we look at the song Rigs o' Barley. This is a popular song written by Robert Burns and is about two people who meet in the fields at night and spend some intimate time together.  I give you information about the people in the song, who are they? why meet at night?.. I will read the original song, (which includes a lot of old Scottish words), and then read a modern english version so that you can understand what is being said.

Fair warning!!! the themes in this song are quite adult. Tune into the episode if you want to find out who the people are, why they are meeting in the fields at night, what happened to them and lots more...
