As George said, some more detail might help us find these lyrics. And it would be nice to have the English words as many of us do know the air. |

This literally is Fair Mary of My Heart. There are a lot of songs about one Fair Mary or another. Will look to see what I can find. Your phonetic is close enough. |

I think it appeared in printed collections in the 19th century but could possibly be a lot older. It's the sort of song that people might have frequently changed the lyrics of in the past.) I found this recording,in English, on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOAFrqN-BsM In Shonagh's lyrics, the name of the lake should be Loch a Foran NOT "Foram", from the Gaelic Loch a' Feorain This recording by Dileab Phriseal the song starts with the verse about singing: A Mhàiri bhanarach, gus an gabh mi 'n t-òran, and is followed by another mouth music tune, Bodaichean a Mhírein and here is a choral arrangement: Strathspeys & Reels: U-Bhi A-Bhi, Mac-a-Phi, Stad A Mhairi Bhanarach This is the medley which, with English words by J. N. McConochie, is published in Roberton's Songs of the Isles as Marie's Wedding, on page 40. |

I liked the tune at the time & still play the one we learned- Mrs MacLeod. |
