pdq Lyr Req: Isle of Maree / Little Mohee (14) RE: Lyr Req: Isle of Maree / Little Mohee 01 Feb 23


Mohee is a Dutch surname and has nothing to do with American Indians.

The original lyrics were about a chap who left to work for the Dutch East India Company.

He eventually returned home to find his girl had been faithful.

If there is any mention of Indian it is the variety from India.

If done to the tune of "On Top of Old Smoky" that is of Elizabethan English in origin.
