Thread Name: Lyr Req: Castle of Dromore (from The Corries)
Subject: Castle of Drummore (Corries)
Hi all!

I am a newcomer, and have just searched Digitrad for a line in "The Castle..." which has been annoying me. Like many, it is the Corries' version with which I am familiar.

The line in question is the second one in the first verse. It begins, "Yet peace is in her lofty halls..."

It's the next bit that bothers me. Digitrad gave "my loving treasure store," but I am sure this is not what Roy Williamson sang. Does anyone have any idea what his version was?

Thanks for any help; I'm not even nearly an authority on folk music, but I have got a new baby coming and would like to be able to sing this song to it!
