Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Farewell by Davy Crockett
Very close to my memory of the tune. It will be interesting to see if the tune can be identified. The only note change would be in the second line- Were more BEAU-ti ful far, the higher note the beau. It has been a long time since I heard it, though, and I could be wrong. "My heart's in the highlands, my heart is not here,/ My heart's in the highlands a chasing a deer"... Crockett's feelings almost echo Burns.
