A Stones song about interrfering with sheep

Very few people seem to know that the Rolling Stones once sang a song to help address the growing problem of lonely Scottish farmers interfering with their sheep.

It's all about this Scottish sheep farmer who, late at night, notices the light on in his barn, goes out to investigate and finds his neighbour on top of his favourite sheep. He cries out:

"Hey McCloud! Get off of my ewe!"

I'm a blue-painted, thistle-arsed haggis-fancier, but I'm afraid I don't even know how to tune a kilt.
