Susan-Marie Lyr Req: Ma Plaid (from The Poozies) (18) RE: lyrics please: ma plaid 03 Dec 03

Thanks Malcom. ANy thoughts on the meaning of the song?

In some ways it's similar to songs that refer to political themes in code - e.g.,
"Although the lad the plaid wha wore
Is now upon a distant shore....
...Although his name I duarna tell"

could refer to an exiled leader.

Wasn't there a period when the clan MacGregor was outlawed and it was illegal to speak the name or wear the plaid? Could that be why the singer isn't wearing "her" plaid?
