Thread Name: Mouth Music or any Gaelic songs
Subject: RE: Mouth Music or any Gaelic songs
We have only two songs labeled "@mouthmusic" in the DT - it is a new category. Jean Redpath sings some mouth music in English, As has been pointed out, the words are not very signigicant. I thought I had entered one set, but I cannot find them (how to spell this stuff to search for it?)

It went something like:

Kitty Birdie had a cou; Black and white about the mou;Wasn't a that a dainty cou?;Dance Kitty Birsie.

The broon cou's gotten out and bullied all the kye...

...gotten out and eaten all the corn; what he eats today, he canna eat the morn..
