Malcolm Douglas DT Attribution & Minor Corrections - recorded msgs (361* d) RE: Attribution added: DT authors PermaThread 25 Jul 02


It may well be that many of the missing attributions have been added to the new version of the DT, which we have not yet seen; and I have been adding missing attributions to the "Missing Tunes" thread, too; however, it may well be useful to have a list in one place; not to nag, I hope, but to provide a helpful resource. Here are a few more; I think they're all accurate. Some have been mentioned quite regularly over several years.

FAIR ELIZA Robert Burns, 1792.
href=file:///@displaysong.cfm?SongID=5244&Title=SEVEN%20DAFFODILS>SEVEN DAFFODILS, of which it is a mis-spelled duplicate. Written by Lee Hayes and Fran Moseley in the early 1960s. In copyright.

"Wae's me for Prince Charlie" is in Hogg's Jacobite Relics, II, #99, 1821. In the notes he notes that it was said to be by Willam Glen. Hogg gives the tune, and in the notes mentions that it is "The Gypsie Laddie". Hogg has a further (last) verse to the song as follows.

But now the bird saw some redcoats,
And he shook his wings wi' anger:
"O this is no land for me,
"I'll tarry here nae laner."
A while he hover'd on the wing,
Ere he departed fairly:
But weel I mind the fareweel strain;
'Twas "Wae's me for Prince Charlie!"


Only one of the above corrected in 2002 Digital Tradition
