Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Whaur Gadie Rins
Cheers, Megan - that tidies that up. I got it off my old oppo Clive Powell who got it off Jane Turriff so it's a wee bit different here and there.
Oh I wish I was where the Gadie rins
Through the brawlin' wheat an' the yellow whins
Aye an' loupin o'er the bogie lins
At the fit o' Bennachie
Weenst a had twa braw lads,
twa braw lads, twa bra lads,
Weenst a had twa braw lads,
But noo I havna naen
One was killed at the Lourin Fair,
Lourin Fair, Lowrin Fair,
One was killed at the Lourin Fair,
The ithery ane was drowned in the deep (sea or Dee?)
They crowded in sae thick on him,
sae thick on him, sae thick on him,
They crowded in sae thick on him,
He couldna fight not flee
Oh I wish I was where the Gadie rins
Through the brawlin' wheat an' the yellow whins
Aye an' loupin o'er the bogie lins
At the fit o' Bennachie.
Most of it I can account for, though not bogie lins, though that's how Jane gave it to Clive, or least how Clive gave it to me. Suggestions?
But - gosh. It's weird reading a post and seeing Malcolm's name. Now there was a richt braw lad if ever there was one. Much missed.
