Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Laird of Udny
Just hearing Archie singing this in my head, (I'm not at home so can't check till tomorrow), as sung by him it goes

"I'm the laird of Undy's Wa's
I've come here wi' right good cause
I've suffered mair than thirty fa's
Coming oot ower the plain"


Julia's is an older variant, but not the one Archie recorded.

Shows you the folk process at work.

Cheers, John
