937) DREAM ANGUS Described as "traditional" wherever referred to, and quite likely the tune is; I'm less convinced about the lyric, though. The DT file was transcribed from a record made by a Canadian band, and differs in wording from most examples to be found on the web; since I don't have any printed source for it, I can't say what would be the right of it. There is a verse omitted, however:List to the curlew cryin' oh,The DT file also contains a particularly comical mis-hearing. Either the transcriber or the singer(s) have Dream Angus is hurtlin' through the heather, which is a ludicrously inappropriate image. The word should be hirplin(g), which is, to limp; move unevenly; hobble.
Fainter the echoes dyin' oh,
Even the birds and beasties are sleepin',
But my bonny bairn is weepin', weepin'.Midi made from staff notation found on the web (no source named), intended for bagpipe and without the appropriate f sharps indicated, amended by comparison with a couple of bagpipe midis and with a few notes split to accommodate the lyric.
