Thread Name: Origins: Jack Downing's Songbook
Subject: RE: Origins: Jack Downing's Songbook
Actually, I have recorded the Harper's Song,with a tune by harper Bobbi Wayne,on my album Looking Home (Castlebay), but have not found this song in any of Walter Scott's work. If you can guide me to that reference I'd be grateful. It begins

Summer eve is gone and past
Summer dew is fading fast
I ahve wandered all the day
Do not bid me further stray

Thanks-
Julia
