GUEST Lyr Req: Oro Se Do Bheatha 'Bhaile - Scottish (33) RE: Lyr Req: Oro Se Do Bheatha 'Bhaile - Scottish 01 Sep 24


Quote: “‘The song was heard in Tyrone by Roger Casement who drew Pearse's attention to it.’ Is there a letter from Casement to Pearse doing so, or how is this known?”

Recent research as reported in Dúiche Néill — Journal of the O'Neill Country Historical Society, No 26 (2023) pp 174–202.

Quote: “found the original song here - look for ‘Seaghan Mac Cana's publication’ to go straight to it.”

This webpage is a supplement to the Dúiche Néill article, and relates to the song as collected in the 1910s in Tyrone, before it was taken up and changed by the Gaelic League.

The likelihood must be that this Gaelic song was not composed in Tyrone but came from Scotland, which is why I'm interested in finding a Gaelic version from Scotland — the words rather than the tune.
