Hi, Mudcat folk -- my Scottish wife is looking for a song that she's lost her recording of. It was sung by Kenneth McKellar, and the chorus goes "The night was dark, the road was long, and the owls they went coo-coo" (or at least that's how she remembers it). It was about a farmer and his daughter being stopped by robbers and having everything stolen but their gold, hidden in the daughter's mouth. The punchline is that if his wife had been with them they could've hidden the horse and cart as well because "she'd a mouth like a 12-inch gun"... Not in the database that I can find, and not online either -- any clues? Thanks!
