mainly it was used to declare something or be sarcastic.
Sarcastic Use:
(from Rakkety Tam)
Rakkety Rakkety Rakkety Tam,
the drums are beatin' braw.
Rakkety Rakkety Rakkety Tam,
Are ye marchin' off tae war?
A warrior from the borders came,
A buckler o'er his shoulder,
A claymore swingin' at his side,
There's no' a beast who's bolder!
O Rakkety Tam has sold his sword,
Ah scarce believe he's done it.
He swore an oath untae a fool,
who took his pledge upon it!
Declarative use:
With this pledge, I shall commend to
uphold the law,
Stand frimly tall,
give it my all,
And do my best to keep this land fair and
just.
