Subject: RE: lyrics wanted: Mist Covered Mountains
To correct a slight misunderstanding. Chì Mi Na Mór-bheanna was not set to the Dùil Ri Baile-Chaolais Fhaicinn (aka Hoping I Would be Seeing Ballachulish). The original title is Dùil Ri Baile-Chaolais Fhaicinn. The notes in An t-Oranaiche says that Iain Cameron had writen the song on the first day of fall in 1856, using the air of Johnny Stays Long At The Fair. The words are slightly different than what we know as Chì Na Mórbheanna.
