The Stornaway thread reminded me of another popular song of that time.

To the tune of "Lochanside" by Pipe Major McLennan of Dunoon.

Something like...

"By the lochside I met a maiden ,
and my heart longed to call her mine.

She was fairer than words can say now,
when she smiled all the world was gay now
But like springtime she could not stay now
and my heart longed to call her mine.

I would wait a thousand years now,
I would shed a thousand tears now ,
No more sadness and no more fears now
Since my lass let me call her mine

Jim'll fix it....Ake
