Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Reiver's Galley (from The Corries)
The song in question is The Reivers Galley. Kismul's Gallety is another song, even if they both have Kismul in them and both were sung by the Corries. Reivers Galley was written by Roy Williamson of the Corries, so it's not traditional. It may be one day, though, as a lot of Scottish artists now sing it. Thanks for the complete lyrics, GUEST from 2007. I had just about memorized them but never gotten around to writing them down. I like this song quite a lot. Roy played it on his combolin and he matched the timing of his voice, the instrument and the ship's sailing movement so well.
