Could I add the song written by Mary Brooksbank which I have seen with three or four different titles but which goes: - As I cam by Strathmartine Mains Wha dae ye think I seen But a braw young piper laddie cam A-linkin ower the green Chorus (after each verse): Singin, Hey Donal, Ho Donal Dirrum a doo a day He played a reel, an he played a jig An he played a sweet strathspey He roosed ma hairt till the beat kept time Tae the tappin o my tae Oh I've nae gowd tae offer ye For I've gaithered little gear But we'll hae love an freedom Gin ye'll follow me my dear There's gowd in the broom o the Sidlaw Hills Honey frae the heather sweet There's a speckled troot in the purlin tarn A velvet carpet 'neath oor feet Syne he blew up his chanter An sic a spring he plays That I chose love an freedom Now ah wander a' my days
