Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Journey tae Fyvie (Bill Smith)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Variation on Bonnie Lass o'Fyvie
Got a copy of it in an old Scots folk magazine somewhere - will look it out later.
From memory - 1st verse;

There were a troop of Irish(?) Dragoons,
Come marchin' intae Fyvie O
And the reason that they marched all he way frae Marble Arch
There were no railways runnin' intae Fyvie O.
