I searched the database but couldn't find this song, and don't remember who sang it (it's Scottish). Partial chorus:

I'm wearin' awa', Jeanne Like sna wreaths in thaw, Jeanne I'm wearin' awa' To the land o' the leal

Complete lyrics would be much appreciated.Thanks!

I was told a little about the new CD in private. I wasn't told that it was a secret, but I don't know if what I know is public knowledge, and think I'd better not say anything about the little I do know about it.

"Land of the Leal" in DT shows why I never take a song from a phono record if there's any other source for a song or tune. That the fastest way to get a corrupt copy of a song.

For the relationship of Lady Nairn's "Land of the Leal", 1798, to the Scottish folksong "Be kind to your Nainsel', John" see P. N. Shuldham-Shaw's article on the Duncan MSS in FMJ, 1966, and Ford's 'Song Histories', 1900. There are further extensive notes on the two songs in 'Greig-Duncan', III, #706. Some had taken the song to be by Burns.

Alex, Nothing merits vulgar language. We had a lengthy discussion of what is folk music last year and I thought came to a live-let-live truce about what folk music is and what should or should not be on this site and to be pretty understanding of what is requested. We may disagree with Bruce from time to time, but we should respect his efforts and opinions.

Pompous asses like Bruce will always merit a spirited reply when necessary. His reply contributed nothing to the request and the he and his so-called "purist" likes are apt to dissuade folks from making requests on this forum. As to "Land O' The Leal" not being a folksong - when your work is mistaken as a Burns' composition it has to be up there in terms of quality. I don't suppose Bruce considers Burns to have written any folk songs, either. If you want my apology - you have it (not to Bruce, though).

Burns is quality, that wasn't the subject. Some of his songs do seem to be traditional. Burns wrote songs and poems, he also rewrote old songs, and he also collected folksongs (he was the first ever to give us the magnificent "Tam Lin".) I thought the subject here was folksongs, real folksongs that is.

I haven't heard this "Land O the leal. " I guess I don't understand why it is not a folk song. Is it because it is a contemporary tune (that would disqualify a lot of modern folk music .) Or is it because of the way that Silly Wizard performed the music on their CD (Ashley MacIsaac performs many traditional tunes on his CDs with electrics instruments and funk arrangements, does this make them no longer fol music.) Or is it simply that Bruce doesn't like "Silly Wizard" and that makes it not folk music. (I personally don't like Michael Flatley. I think that he brings Irish step dancing down to the level of the Las Vegas nightclub act. But.....it still is folk dancing.)

LAND O' THE LEAL in the DT is the Silly Wizard version, without attribution. Here's Lady Nairne's original from Charles Rogers, Life and Songs of the Baroness Nairne (London: Charles Griffin and Co., 1869, pp. 3-4):

    THE LAND O' THE LEAL
    Air--"Hey tutti taiti."

I'm wearin' awa', John,
Like snaw-wreaths in thaw, John,
I'm wearin' awa'
   To the land o' the leal.
There's nae sorrow there, John,
There's neither cauld nor care, John,
The day is aye fair
   In the land o' the leal.

Our bonnie bairn's there, John,
She was baith gude and fair, John,
And oh! we grudg'd her sair
   To the Land o' the leal.
But sorrow's sel' wears past, John,
And joy's a-comin' fast, John,
The joy that's aye to last
   In the land o' the leal.

Sae dear that joy was bought, John,
Sae free the battle fought, John,
That sinfu' man e'er brought
   To the land o' the leal.
Oh! dry your glist'ning e'e, John,
My saul langs to be free, John,
And angels beckon me
   To the land o' the leal.

Oh! haud ye leal and true, John,
Your day it's wearin' thro', John,
And I'll welcome you
   To the land o' the leal.
Now fare ye weel, my ain John,
This warld's cares are vain, John,
We'll meet, and we'll be fain,

Thanks for the Lady Nairn lyrics. My grandfather used to sing it; I'm sure his words were different. A lovely piece.
Mudcat is puttering along on one cylinder again (as usual?) and I can't raise the DT to see the S-W rendition.

The exchange between Bruce O and Alex is amusing reading. I am sure, that if we had all of the old paper, much of Child and much of Sharp would turn out to be composed music.
My definition of folk is music that has lost its composer/author. Incomplete, of course. Perhaps 'music as remembered' would be better.

From: Malcolm Douglas
Date: 22 Jul 04 - 06:39 PM

Yes. Both songs were set to Hey Tutti Taiti (see Masato's post above).

The DT text, transcribed apparently from a recording by Silly Wizard, is the standard version widely published, with piano arrangements, in books of Popular Scottish Song from the mid 19th century onward. That in turn is a shortened and slightly altered form of the text which appeared in Alnwick's 1812 edition of Burn's Poetical Works (wrongly attributed to Burns and with "John" altered to "Jean" and a partly variant final verse).

Lady Nairne wrote her verses in 1798; they were not published under her name, but circulated informally. In the process, changes were made, deliberately or inadvertently, by intermediaries. Not the "oral transmission" of the folk song, though the mechanics of it are broadly similar. The original MS has been published in facsimile: it lacks the four lines beginning "Sae dear that joy" (see above) which seem to have been added later.

A song with a similar burden, Be Kind to Your Nainsel John, has been found in oral currency; there are a number of versions in the Greig-Duncan collection. Presumably Lady Nairne used a form of it as the germ for her verses.

I don't recall Lizzie Higgins singing that, but one of the sets collected by Duncan is in Gordeanna McCulloch's repertoire. She got it from The Folk Music Journal, where it appeared in 1966.

Some minor mysteries here for me. I recently had the pleasure of seeing and hearing Dick Gaughan several times at the Woodford Festival here in Queensland. My memory is (perhaps incorrectly) that he attributed the authorship to Brian McNeil. Dick's accent is broad and the acoustics weren't always perfect. Is there a McNeil 'Leal' song or have I cocked this up?

My printed version of the song has different lyrics to the DT, but I haven't had the chance to compare them with those in Malcolm's post. Not everyone will agree with me but I do like the harmonisation in my score, which (I'm guessing) probably dates from the 1930's.

I'll produce an ABC version with chords when I get the chance.

Here's what I found in Rampant Scotland.com:

Traditional Scottish Songs
- Land O The Leal

The melody for this song is an old air, "Hey, tuttie, tattie" which was also used by Robert Burns for "Scots Wha' Hae'". Lady Nairne wrote the words on the death of the only child of her friend, Mrs. Archibald Campbell Colquhoun (who had been a love of Sir Walter Scott at one time).


Land O The Leal

I'm wearin' awa' Jean,
Like snaw-wreaths in thaw, Jean,
I'm wearin' awa'
To the land o' the leal.
There's nae sorrow there, Jean
There's neither cauld nor care, Jean,
The day's aye fair
In the land o' the leal.

To me ye hae been true Jean,
Your task's ended noo, Jean
For near kythes my view
O' the land o' the leal.
Our bonnie bairn's there, Jean,
She was baith gude and fair, Jean,
And, oh! we grud'd her sair
To the land o' the leal.

But dry that tearfu' ee Jean,
Grieve na for her and me, Jean
Frae sin and sorrow free
I' the land o' the leal.
Now fare ye weel, may ain Jean!
This warld's cares are vain, Jean,
We'll meet and aye be fein
I' the land o' the leal.

Meaning of unusual words:
awa' = away
leal = loyal, faithfull
aye = always
kythes = reveal, declare
bairn = child
baith = both
grud'd = grudged
sair = all one's strength, greatly
fein = loving, affectionate

No idea as to the accuracy. Hope it helps someone.

My friend May, a poet, singer and fiddler and ardent member of the SNP was dying of cancer, and asked me to assist with her funeral plans.
I was to organise a particular piper with certain tunes to be played outside the church at the start and end of the service (we ended up with two as another one demanded to play too!)but the most important thing for May was that I should have the organist play the Land of the Leal as her coffin was carried from the church- -purely because the tune WAS hey Tutti Tattie / Scots Wha Hae albeit at a slower pace.
It really pleased May to think of the great and the good and in particular the Tories and unionists of this community who wished to be seen at her funeral, to have to stand for the Scottish National Anthem at the end of her service!!!!
We had some laughs about that in the weeks before she passed!!!!

"a folk song is one that folk sing!"
A far to general statement to be much use, in my opinion.
Lady Nairn's songs fall into the category of 'popular poetry' alongside Cunningham, and Burtns, rather than creations of 'the folk' - 'the voice of the people', which is what I believe folk songs are.
There's an excellent detailed discussion of Lady Nairn's songs, including, 'Land o' the Leal' in Alfred M William's, FOLK SONGS and POPULAR POETRY - well worth a look at

Mystery around Land o the Leal

This is a gorgeous song, we love performing it and it’s been made more popular recently as it featured on the recent movie, Outlaw King. What is really interesting about this song is that there was quite a bitter fight over deciding who wrote it! Carolina, lady Nairne (1766-1845) was never a fan of any kind of fame.


She collected songs, wrote poems and worked quietly on music without letting even her family know what she was doing. She said at one point that even her husband, Lord Nairne, had not been told about her music ‘lest he blab’. I love that! She sat for what must have been hours writing and yet so many people close to her had no idea. She did publish some songs but worked under the name Mrs Bogan of Bogan – check that out if you are ever looking in old music volumes, BB means Lady Nairne.


In the case of the Land of the Leal some people believed this was the work of Robert Burns. It became known as his song generally, but others did dispute this. In the 1890's long after her death, a man called Charles Roger asserted that The Land o the Leal had been penned by Lady Nairne. She had written it for her dear friend Mrs Campbell Colquhoun of Killermont on the death of that lady’s infant daughter. She set the tune to a slow version of the tune Hae Tutti Tatti which many of us know as the tune for Scots Wha Hae. This news incensed an admirer of Robert Burns called Alexander Crichton. He eventually got so worked up about the song that he wrote an entire book on it! I always refer to it as an ‘angry little book’. He gives all kinds of reasons why The Land of the Leal must be the work of Burns. He suggested that certain aspects were very like previous Burns songs. Things like the words which were used being very familiar to Burns in particular and that the subject of the death of a child was something Burns had experienced. Crichton starts off by saying his book is an exploration to reach the truth of the matter, but he betrays his real feelings by writing some pretty nasty things about Lady Nairne. He states that she was merely a ‘tinkerer’ of songs and casts doubt on her writing and musical abilities. In some ways it was Lady Nairne’s wish to remain anonymous which worked against her. Had she been less shy and more open about her publications then there would have been no debate.

It is hard to know why she wanted to keep quiet and many people ask me this when we talk about her and perform her songs in our presentations. My own thought is that this kind of writing was something she had done ever since she was a young woman. She lived in a time, the late 1700’s, when respectability meant young women did not engage in these kinds of activities. Being a good daughter, a good wife and mother, minding her situation and being part of a polite society when she lived in Edinburgh might all have ensured she kept her work anonymous.

The real impact of that modesty and reluctance to shine has been seen in the way that her work has been overlooked for many years. Often her songs have been sung but many believe they are singing or hearing a song by Hogg or Burns, not Lady Nairne. Hogg, Burns and Lady Nairne all collected songs. This means that at times they overlapped with slightly differing versions of similar songs being circulated. They all knew this and were never pretending to have a definitive version! Even today we all know slightly different words or completely different tunes for some classic traditional songs. In truth, this is part of the charm of learning old songs. Finding differing versions and then working to adapt a version to suit our own style and voice is a vital part of the process. It’s what Lady Nairne did and it's what PlaidSong do today. We hope you enjoy our version of the Land of the Leal.
