In discussing 'Aikendrum' Digital Tradition Mirror mentions that Hogg, in his 'Jacobite Relics II' 1821, 22., gives a political song of circa 1715 with the chorus "Aikendrum, Aikendrum" though the tune there is "My Luve's in Germanie".
I wonder what words they sang to "My Luve's in Germanie" in 1715 when they weren't singing "Aikendrum".
Oor om I a man wha cam frae the moon tae be eskin sich a question?
