Thread Name: Lost: Old song about Culloden
Subject: RE: Lost: Old song about Culloden
I wrote it in 1969. I used the tune The Bonnie Hoose o' Airly, I think it's called. I'll post all the lyrics tomorrow. The song was part of a themed LP based on Bonnie Prince Charlie and I attempted to show how he was responsible for the massacre of the highland troops and how devided the Scottish forces were. I think you have to read all of the lyrics as the scrap given was, yes, scrappy. Jim McLean
