Thread Name: Lyr Req: Isle of Skye
Subject: RE: Isle of Skye
I have a recording of Isle of Skye under the title Twa Bonny Maids by a dou called The Flash Girls. Included in their liner notes it says as near as I can remember, Flora MacDonald disguised bonny Prince Charlie as a maid and smogled him in a small row boat across the sea to the island of skye. From there he excaped to France were he died drunk, while Flora MacDonald was captured and taken to London were her beauty and wit made her a great social success, and she was invited to all the write parties. There's a lesson in there, some were.

This is nothing that hasn't been said alreay, but I like the way they make it sound.
