An Old Scottish Proverb

Be Happy While Ye Live For Ye’ll Be a Long Time Dead By La Belle Rouge Be happy as ye can in the midst of the years Try to produce more smiles than ye do tears Life is much too short and eternity is very long Even if you‘re tone deaf, sing yourself a song Make all ye can and save all ye make, to be rich Don’t get too drunk on whiskey and lie in the ditch Be happy while ye live for ye’ll be a long time dead Thoughts of sweet by and by running through your head Live the day with your might, don’t wait for tomorrow Find your way out of pain and run past all the sorrow Love to live and live to love, learn to please your lassie Do not wed a dull one but one who’s classy and sassy Ye’ll be a long time dead so live well while ye can And when ye die they’ll say, “He was a prudent man”

You are one classy, sassy lassie! Scotsmen (and Scotswomen) sure to how to live. While I enjoy good bourbon, I never imbibed too much, got enough sleep, and was frugal, making me healthy, wealthy and sometimes, wise.

I just can't figure out why that Scotsman is kicking his sheep. I know there is a joke there somewhere but I'm trying to figure out what it is. Is it a parallel to "kicking the bucket?"
