Boab | Lyr Req: Blaeberries - I've lost my darling babyo (9) | RE: Lyr Req: Blaeberries - I've lost my darling babyo | 27 Jan 05 |
The first Hebridean song I ever learned. I have a brother [Lachie] two years my junior. My old Gran had him wrapped in his "plaid" [a common method of carrying young-uns in the not too distant past] and I was toddlin' along by her side, harping on about climbing a nearby hill. Granny pointed out that she was carrying "Wee Lachie". So I suggested leaving him wrapped in his plaid by a thicket of nettles. So she sang "the Faerie Lullaby" to me. It stuck with me all down the years! |
