Thread Name: Scottish Emigrant Songs
Subject: RE: Scottish Emigrant Songs
Cunningham didn't name a tune for "The Sun's Bright in France", which was claimed as from a 'Miss Macartney' in Cromek's 'Remains of Nithsdale and Galloway Song', 1810. The text above is considerably amplified from that in Cromek's 'Remains'.

Cunningham also did not name a tune for "Hame, hame, hame" which he said was from a copy in Burns' Common Place Book. The tune for it comes from Hogg's 'Jacobite Relics', I, p. 134, 1819.
