Thread Name: Lyr/Chords Req: Bonnie Maid of Fife (Nick Keir)
Subject: RE: Word & Chords- Bonnie Maid of Fife
Check out "Fyvie" in the database. "Fife-e-o" is [may I say it] an ignorant rendition by the Clancy Brothers and other assorted ruffians. Fyvie is a real place in Scotland. I do admit of course that the original song (as Bruce O. will tell you) is about the bonnie lass of Derby.
