15 Jun 97 - 01:36 AM (#6850) Subject: Need lyrics for 2 early Dougie McLean songs: From: Michael Carr Does anybody know the words two The Ploughboy Laddies and Over My Mountain? These were the first two pieces by Dougie that I ever heard, and over and above being good songs, I have a certain sentimental attachment to them as well. When I asked him at a show if he might perform them he seemed reluctant to do so. I suspect this has something to do with the label he recorded them under. The first is traditional and the second, I think, is one of his own. Any help would be appreciated, esp. if you can tell me where I can find them recorded. Thanks! |

I was just introduced to the music of Dougie MacLean by a friend of mine who is a minstrel at the NJ RenFaire. I've heard only three of his songs so far.. do you know where I can find the rest? |

31 Aug 10 - 06:08 PM (#2977019) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Ploughboy Laddies & Over My Mountain From: GUEST,kenny "Over My Mountain" was the "B-side" of "Caledonia" when Dougie and Alan Roberts [ RIP ] released it as a single on the "Criminal Records" label [ "Stealing Our Way Into Your Heart" ] !!! It was released in 1978. The 2 tracks I think were taken from an LP they recorded as a duo, also titled "Caledonia". It shouldn't be difficult to find the words to the "Ploo'boy Laddies" [sic], and if you can't get the lyrics to "Over My Mountain", I'll write them out and post them here for you, but it might be the week-end before I have a chance to do it. Dougie's pretty good about doing requests - if he didn't sing them when you asked, it's more probable that he just hadn't sung them for a long time. |

Dougie has adjusted it a little for his version. Lyr Add: PLOOMAN LADDIES OVER MY MOUNTAIN Music & Lyrics by Dougie MacLean. Published by Limetree Arts and Music I'm walking out easy and I'm walking out slow I'm taking this old road to a place that I know And I don't feel the wind and I don't see the snow Over my mountain And it's cold, getting colder but I'm feeling so warm I'm flying so high I just can't see the storm It's a long time ago I was here on my own Over my mountain And isn't it strange how things happen to be So many years on and he's no stranger to me And all the old stories are easy to see When I'm out over my mountain So in sad isolation I'm feeling so good I've drifted too far but I knew that I would And it seems I am laughing and I knew that I could Over my mountain So I'm walking out easy I'm walking out slow I'm taking this old road to a place that I know And I don't feel the wind and I don't see the snow Over my mountain Regards CC |
