Vic Smith Lyr Req: Songs about bagpipes (25) RE: Lyr Req: Songs about bagpipes 27 Sep 22


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
