Thank you so much! its clearer to me now!! I was singing at a festival in Aberdeen at the weekend and I won the womens bothy ballad section(tho i could have really been in the junior section because im still 16) but the only thing that was bothering me was that I got marked down because of a poor choice of tune! i was singing the only tune i had ever heard to Sleepytoon and last night i spoke to the "bothy king" Jock Duncan and again he has only ever heard the one tune! Any of you guys heard another tune to it? The 1st verse and the chorus are:
It happened at last whitsunday I tired of my place And i ga'ed doon tae Insch tae fee My fortune for tae chase
Sing irey arritie arry ann sing irey arritie ann.
(sorry! i dont no how to spell the chorus!!)
Thanx again for your help
