GUEST,Dundurn Lyr Req: Hebridean Song (23) RE: Lyr Req: Hebridean Song 08 Oct 16


This was definitely introduced by Duncan Macrae on the Hogmanay show. I think it was the year after Wee Cock Sparrow. I remember my father sitting with tears (of laughter) in his eyes as McRae's lugubrious expression never changed as he went through what seemed an interminable dirge. My mother loved the Ossian verse as I continued to bring home my washing from Uni! The one addition I can make to everyone's remembrances is that the chorus always ended with 'That should make my ##### #### ####.' The phrase in ##, which I could never decipher, which I think was part of the joke, was some sort of mock Gaelic saying.
