Sandy Paton Lyr Req: Scottish Settler's Lament (13) RE: Scottish song in vasrious forms 30 Jun 99


You may be thinking of what we know as "The Scarborough Settler's Lament." to me, the tune always sounded quite like a variant of "Lord Derwentwater's Farewell." Ed Trickett recorded it for Folk-Legacy, and Stan Rogers included it on his "For the Family" recording. Look at the text in the DT under the Scarborough title, and see if that's the song you want. It sure is a beauty!
