Does anybody have backstory on the Gaelic Song "Ho, Ro Mhairi Dhubh" which became the English "Turn Ye to Me?"

Published in Alexander Campbell's "Albyn's Anthology", 1816, p.54 and credited to "a female maniac."

I don't know if my Gaelic speaking friends were pulling my leg or not, but said the song was about somebody begging Mary not to go to Edinburgh because they'd make fun of her because she had a hunch back and spoke Gaelic.
