Snoozer Lost: Old song about Culloden (40) Lost: Old song about Culloden 07 Mar 05


Hello All!
A friend is looking for a recording of a song she swears was on an old record her father had. She believes the song is well over 30 years old.

This is what she remembers of the lyrics:

The whole of Scotland's wearin' black
All dressed up for their ? and
Prince Charlie's chose the place himself
The grave ya call Culloden

With hungry men, he faced the Duke
With hungry men and weary
With slogans and faith
They met their death
They fought and died for Charlie

McDonald he glowered and stood a'back
His pride was heart wrecked sorely
He would not fight on any other place
But on the right of Charlie


I've looked around the 'net and mudcat and can't find anything matching these lyrics. Has anyone heard of it? Know anything about it? Any information would be appreciated. By the way, my friend lives in British Columbia (Canada). You never know, geography may be a factor in finding this song.

Thanks!
Susan
