You also did the 'Idle Wielder' & when I sang it, Dick or Allen asked, where did you get that. You must be losing your repertoire to the likes of me, not that I can remember much anymore. Barry |

Lovely tune, despite its simplicity, although the version I know has a few more twiddly-bits (deeply technical term, there) in the melody than the DT version. Helen P.S. Do a search on Lindsay rather than Lizzie, or go to the tune titles.

Will ye gang to the highlands, Lizzie Lindsay, Me wife and me darling to be? Will I gang to the highlands with you Sir? Such a thing it never can be! For I don´t know the land that you come from, nor know I the name you go with. ? ? For me name is Sir Ronald MacDonald A Chieftain of high degree. ? She kilted her petticoat over her knee. And she´s gone with Sir Ronald MacDonald his wife and his darling to be. I heard this tune some time ago and that´s all I can remember. But Its clear to see what it´s about. Greetings, Seamrog |
