Thread Name: Lyr Req: Young MacDonald
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Young MacDonald
The song 'Young MacDonald' is english and Scots gaelic or
Erse!!
I've known the chorus and another verse since I was a youngster.I'm now 74! The Glengarry referred is the county where Simon Fraser is buried and whence came the Nor'wester Finnan McDonald!!
The verse I refer to is:
Young MacDonald is my name,
I'm a miner by trade:
I do work both night'n'day
All for a maid in Canada
