Thread Name: Lyr Req: Island Shieling Song
Subject: RE: Lyrics for 'Island Shieling Song'
The tune is also found in the Isle of Man, collected by Mona Douglas from (I think) Robert Kerruish of Maughold as a version of a milking song.

Off the top of my head, I only have the Manx Gaelic version, but I could probably look up the English version somewhere, though this takes it out of the Scottish context of the Island Shieling Song.

Let me know if it's of any interest.

Shoh slaynt,
