    "Loch Lomond" tells the story of two Scottish soldiers who were so imprisoned. One of them was to be executed, while the other was to be set free.The one to die was a Jacobite?

    All yours Yorkie - have you tried singing the FC Cologne version ? The rhythm is exactly the same and the tune is borrowed. As you realized it is not the sort of German which would pass an exam - but rather the Kölsch dialect, which is related to Rhenisch (some similarities to Luxembourg and to Flemish). The people of Cologne were probably so pissed off that the modern German language changed Colonia Agrippina Agripinensis into Köln that they have been murdering the German language in revenge ever since by developing a dialect which nobody in Berlin or Hamburg would ever understand ! Take it away.
