Subject: RE: Need lyrics help-Are You Sleeping Maggie
The Tannahill Weavers perform this on their "Mermaid's Song" LP. They also included in the liner notes a translation of all the Scots dialect used in songs on the LP. Carry=firmament, boortree=elder tree, cuist=cast (as in throw), abune=above. Let me know if you need more help. Cheers!
