about

It's another poem from Aytoun's "Lays Of the Scottish Cavaliers". What possessed us to put a high harmony at the end of the chorus? Otherwise, it's a pretty good song and I like the quiet verses at the start. Holds up OK, but THAT harmony. More fine singing from Derek

Honestly can't remember if I wrote the tune to this. Sounds too good.
