"Rudolph wae yer neb sae bricht, wud yae guide mae sleigh the nicht?"

I'm still fascinated by the Ulster Scots carols and Christmas songs!

Rudolph, the rid-nebbed reindeer
Had a perfu shiny nose.
An if yae iver saa him,
Yae wud even say it glows.

Aal o the ither reindeers
Used tae lauch an call him names.
They niver lut power Rudolph
Join in onie reindeer games.

Thin yin foggy Christmas Eve
Santa come tae say:
"Rudolph wae yer neb sae bricht,
Wud yae guide mae sleigh the nicht?"

Thin all the reindeers loved 'im
An they shouted oot wae glee,
"Rudolph the rid-nebbed reindeer,
Yae'll go doon in history."
