Peter	Origin: I Will Go / Land of MacLeod (82* d)	RE: Info on Clearence song 'Land Of MacLeod'	31 Aug 99
The key that the song might refer to the Clearances is in the last verse. When they piped us all on board The lasses were singing But a tear came to my eye When the bell started ringing I will go, I will go. ... When we came back to the glen the winter was coming Our goods lay in the snow And our houses were burning I will go, I will go. ... Otherwise the song is about going away to fight, which is the OTHER reason why there are more highlanders in the diaspora than in the highlands.
