Thread Name: Lyr Req: Carraig Donn / Carrigdhoun
Subject: RE: Carraig Donn
Thank you for bringing this thread back up. I learned Carrigdhoun from Alan Mackall in about 1975; I assume he got it from the Mc Peakes, but since Alan died ten years later, I'll never know. But I never saw the song in print, and although I was pretty clear on the pronunciation, I had no idea how to spell the placenames. I also sing the brown heath verse first, then the green, and exactly the words provided by Frank McGrath.
