Den, the stylus is the man (Art T. joke)
We are talking about different versions here -- though it is weird that the Songbook makes the ones who we thought were pseudonyms sound like real people.
My ears: (1) In the verse about Isaac Scott he comes from somewhere I cannot decipher (sounds like MayMahee);
(2) MacDonald has come to court Miss Agnes Phail;
(3) Canbree, is what I hear.
