Subject: RE: songs on emigration
just copied this from my copy of thi, unfortunately out of print, book. You might find a copy in a used book shop near you...

Donald A. Fergusson, general editor. From the Farthest Hebrides (1978). MacMillan, London, UK. ISBN 0333247604. Provides tunes, Gaelic words, metrical English translations, and historical notes for Gaelic songs of the Hebridean and Highland immigrants to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Includes about 100 songs of the sea, heroic songs of North Uist, love songs, labor songs, and others.

hope this helps :-)
