ChS	Lyr Req: A Woman to Her Husband Killed at Culloden (15)	RE: Lyr Req: A Woman to Her Husband Killed at Culloden	23 Jul 05
To Sorcha, Robbie, Phil and Malcolm Quite by chance I found the answer to the question I asked On 08 Jul 05. I found a dirge in Irish Gaelic, "Mo run geal og", written by Lady Chisholm for her husband, William, who fell at Culloden at the head of his clansmen in 1746. There is a strong likelihood of this text being what I was looing for, since it scans perfectly the tune "A Lady..." from the Simon Fraser Collection. In fact the definitive answer is to be found in "Coir a'Mhoid 3" (3d Book of the Mod Collection of Gaelic Songs) that I don't have, but allegedly gives both lyrics and tune for evry song it contains. The result of my investigations is here: http://chrsouchon.free.fr/morungea.htm (Maybe it could be useful to add this site to the Mudcat list of links, but I don't quite understand the procedure)
