Anyone else know the middle verse, as shown in the DT?
I have never heard it before, and have trawled various song books and not found it, so I wondered if it was a later addition, or indeed, if it was a more literal translation from the Gaelic? In one of my books it mentions 3 verses from Kenneth Macleod, but then only prints the usual two plus chorus. I understand it came from the singing (in Gaelic) of Mary McInnes.
