Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Highland Widow's Lament
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Highland Lament
That's the Scotish Minstrel set. See DT file  BORDER WIDOW'S LAMENT.

The DT file was copied from Buchan and Hall, but the title of Smith's book is given wrongly (mind you, Buchan and Hall also "corrected" it to "Scottish", though thankfully without confusing "minstrel" and "minstrelsy" as the DT entry does).

Does anybody have anything to say that hasn't already been said, or is this old thread, dragged back from oblivion after more than 5 years in blessed peace, to be the scene of a remorseless repetition of every past misunderstanding?
