Can anyone help to direct me to the lyrics of this Gaelic song? The versions I've heard are by The Rankins and by Robin Hall & Jimmie MacGregor. Thanks, Reid

Read, I don't know the others you mentioned, but I have two versions besides the one by the Rankins.

Look at the Puirt section.

I know alternative Gaelic lyrics to the same air - Domhnall Beag an Siùcar. Are you interested?

Oh, George has those lyrics too. Nobody will mary little Domhnall of the sugar, even though he has money, because he isn't handsome. Sung to the first two parts of the tune "The High Road to Linton"

Thanks, Reid! That's kind of you. I have lots of other songs, but I have been a bit busy so I haven't been doing much of those songs at present.

If anyone has a particular Scottish Gaelic Song, ask! We'll see what we can do, eh Philippa?
