[Dixielandjazz] Help - need Scottish hymns for funeral tomorrow

[John McClernan]

Charlie,
This one was played at JFK's funeral:  "Sleep Dearie Sleep"
I'm sorry that I do not have a lead sheet for it.

A Masonic funeral dirge:  http://www.masonmusic.org/dirge.html
(it does show a sheet for this one)

And don't forget that Robert Burns' "Auld Lang Syne" certainly  
qualifies as Scottish.

Sorry I don't have more.
Cheers,
John

p.s. Maybe if you hum while playing your clarinet, it might sound  
vaguely like a bagpipe, .... if the listeners squint.
       Er,... maybe not.
