Thread Name: PermaThread: Songs of Adam McNaughtan
Subject: RE: PermaThread: Songs of Adam McNaughtan
Will do later, when on my proper computer! Actually the version posted by Charley Noble on the Jeelie Piece thread is closer than the one in the DT! As for the debate about the tune, it is much closer to "My Old Man's a dustman" (tho not identical to it) than "John Brown's body". And George Seto's chords look Ok for those who want to accompany it: the other set have shifted in posting and don't quite line up properly with the words, tho I like the optional Bm.

2 other songs for this thread, which are in the DT: Thomas Muir of Huntershill (listed as Thomas Muir), and Yellow on the Broom.
