Thread Name: Lyr Req: Gaelic Skye Leaving Song
Subject: Lyr Req: Gaelic Skye Leaving Song
This lady is looking for a song. She has no title, or phonetics of the lyrics. Just a dim memory ...

I am looking for a tune my Ggrandmother (from Uig Husabost, Duirinish,near Dunvegan, Isle of Skye) sang, translated meaning take or carry my feet back to my wee house by the sea...I can her singing it in Gaelic in my mind but am unable to even phonetically replicate it. I would like to find the music, the Gaelic and English as it is a necessary inclusion to a lecture I am giving this coming year on reverse immigration and " Coming home...Canadian's returning to places of origins..re:Scotland"

I appreciate any assistance

thank you

Lynn Boland Richardson

Can any person think of what this song might be? Thanks.
