Thread Name: Lyr Add: St. Helena
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: St. Helena/tune
Just scanning the Bodley entries, I noticed the following comments on one of them:

Bonaparte's departure for St. Helena ("Now Bonny is awa' ...") Author: Watt, James To the tune of: The braes of Balquhither

I have never heard it sung to that tune or anything resembling it. I don't have my albums to hand, so I can't check where Nic Jones found his tune.
