Subject: Destitution Row ( Lyrics Request...)
Hello I'am a bit of a newbie here . I would be grateful if if someone could help with the lyrics of a song describing the clearences of the Scottish Highlands....? I think it's called "Destitution Row"

Some of the words go......

And its no use gettin' frantic , Its time to hump your load, Across the broad Atlantic On the Destitution Row.

Also.... "He hunts for deer in a lonely glen that once was a home to a thousand men......"

Thanks in advance I looked in the Database with no luck Pat Higgins
