Thread Name: Origins: MacPherson's Lament or Rant or Farewell
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: MacPherson's Lament or Rant
Hi mg,
Before our little music session group split up last year, after 40 years plus of playing together, MacPherson's Lament was on our list. We didn't have the lyrics, just the tune but this page has lyrics:
I have to confess, I don't think I have ever heard a recording of it so I can't vouch for the correctness of the lyrics on that page. I also don't know if the Rant is the same as the Lament.
On the same page of our music session book was a tune called Coleman's March. We played Coleman's and then MacPherson's. Two good tunes.
