Johnny Faa was the gypsy chieftain who inspired all of the songs, or so I've been told. This was a time when gypsies were outlawed in Scotland (and Ireland)There is a beautiful fiddle tune named Johnny Faa, a man (don't have his name handy) set words to it telling a story about Bonnie Prince Charlie. The song's title is "Wae's me (woe is me) for Prince Charlie" It's a beautiful lament and I'm told that this song was the only song the man ever wrote. My two cent contribution. |
