GUEST,Chris Nixon Lyr Req: Scrankie Black Farmer (8) Scrankie Black Farmer 14 Nov 01

In my usual disorganised way I've mislaid the words of a song I was intending to work up... if anyone can help, I'd be most grateful. It appears to be a bothy ballad and the first verse is as follows:

At the top of the Garioch in the lands of Leith Hall A scrankie black farmer near Earlsfield did dwell, With him I engaged a servant to be, Which made me lament going far from the sea.

Hope you can save my sanity, as I can't find that bit of paper anywhere! Thanks, Chris
