Tha mi duillich. A wee error, Iain macMurchaidh's song about his nagging wife is "Tha me tinn, tinn,tinn" (I am sick, sick,sick). It appears that song was also composed before he emigrated. James Campbell of Kintail's recording for the School of Scottish Studies (on Tangent and Greentrax) also. The last-known song he composed in America is "Tha mi sgìth 'an fhoghar seo", I am tired of this exile. That song is historically interesting for its Loyalist sentiments; is there an appropriate Mudcat thread for that topic?
-thanks, JB, celtaddict,& Bob Bolton for adding further info and lyrics to the thread
