Lindsay Lyr Req: Music from the F&I time period (20) Music from the F&I time period 15 Oct 00


I am looking for music and lyrics for songs from the time of the French and Indian War. More specifically, I am looking for songs that would have been sung by the members of the 42nd Highland Regiment (aka the Black Watch). I expect they would mostly have been shanties and work songs, but expect a number of Scottish songs would have been mixed in (though with the proscription against anything Scottish, maybe not).

I apologize in advance if I am mis-using this forum, but am impressed enough with what I have read so far to be very hopeful of obtaining some invaluable assistance.

Terry Wessling aka Pvt Michael Lindsay, 42nd Regiment of Foote, circa 1758
