Subject: RE: Singer/lyrics of song, Coracree/Corrichree
Sorry Conan for getting your name wrong in my post of 3/2/17. Put it down to old age. Any one have any idea when the song was composed/first collected? Is it one of the country flotters not collected until fairly recent times. I have a few collected in my lifetime, which, as far as I can check do not appear in any printed source eg. "The Ingram Servant Lass", "The Braes O Kirkmahoe", "Carnwath Mill" [not the one composed in 1946 which is a completely different song, although the sheet music does make mention of an older song having the same title] etc.,etc.. Any information on the three songs mentioned above would be received with thanks.
