Subject: RE: Accidental names in songs
SharonA, those 3 names you mentioned in your last post are from the song "Doe Ramie," of course.

There are also many songs about women named "Alma."   E.g.,
Alma Loving (Beatles)
Alma Trials (folk spiritual)
Alma Luster (mentioned in the song "You Can't Get a Man With A Gun"
Alma Tomorrows (sung by Frank Sinatra)


As for that Robbie Burns song we sing at New Year's Eve, I probably should have said:

"Should Aldo Quentin's be forgotten, nay, vibrato mine?
Should Aldo Quentin's be forgot and Daisy Valdlang's sign?
For Raoul Lang's sign, Medea, for Raoul Lang's sign,
Will, take a cup o' kindness yet for Raoul Lang's syne."
