This song was transcribed from the singing of Sandie Fraser of Achiltibuie. Murdo George (Mordaidh Sheorais) was just one of'many Coigach men who went to Montana and Idaho, USA, in the years before World War One to work as shepherds, cattlemen and cowboys. This Coigach man realised his dream of returning to Scotland to marry and settle but others stayed to help settle the North American West. Some of these men returned to Europe only to die in the trenches in the Great War of 1914-1918. This song is totally unique and priceless and must be one of the few preserved songs written in Gaelic in the American West.

That's the explanatory notes.

I'll get back to it tomorrow. I'd forgotten there are 11 verses to this to type up, and sort convert to HTML for accents. Will post it tomorrow(later today) evening for sure.
