Thread Name: Lyr/Chords Req: My Bonny Moorhen
Subject: RE: Bonny Moorhen
The song above is from J. Hogg's 'Jacobite Relics of Scotland', I, #77, 1819, but it is not the original bawdy song. If Murray on Saltspring doesn't enlighten us on the original version, I'll add a little more, but he knows far more about it than I do. [See a recent Irish traditional version in Hugh Shields' 'Shamrock, Rose, and Thistle']
