Thanks, Peace. Got a new one coming out in a few weeks.

The way I heard the story from Jimmy McPeake was that the family was performing in Scotland in the '50's, when they heard the Braes of Balquidder and really liked it.

When they got back to Belfast Francis Sr. couldn't quite remember all the words, so he added his own, and as a result came up with a whole new song.

I disagree with mg in that all good songs don't have to rhyme, as long as they scan well, and don'thaveashitloadofextrasyllablesthrownin.
