As my post to the thread on Carmicheal Mill has been deleted
overnight, I checked your archives & came up with this thread.

"We"re No Awa tae Bide Awa" was a new song published in sheet
music form & on a 78rpm. record in 1946.
The composer acknowledges his debt to the old traditional song
CARNWATH MILL & uses the same tune as the old song in this
completely new production

   CARNWATH MILL
    {chorus trad.}

   and its fare ye weel tae Carnwath Mull
   and its fare ye weel ma dearie
   o its fare ye weel tae Carnwath Mull
   for its there that a lost ma dearie.

   There are seven verses to the traditional song & the chorus is
   sung after each verse

As with all traditional songs there may be more than the seven verses that I have

   Joe.
