| Notes 1 | From: Mac-Talla, Sydney, Nova Scotia, Vol. 11, No. 18 (March 6, 1903), which was actually reprinted from the “Cùil na Gàidhlig” column in the Pictou News (1886) by Rev. A. Maclean Sinclair – NOTE: Mac-Talla actually incorrectly listed the paper as the Sydney Post. The same reprint can be found in The Casket (March 2, 1905). |
| Notes 2 | This song also appears in the Sander Manuscript, from which minor differences were noted in this version. The introduction is taken from the “Cùil na Gàidhlig” column. |
