| Notes 1 | Mrs. Patterson: 'Catrìona nighean Ailein Chaluim Pìobaire' (1872-1964). Listen to tracks by her under person ID 5441 on Tobar an Dualchis. There is a bio on the website for the MacEdward Leach Collection: https://www.mun.ca/folklore/leach/singers/dpatterson.htm |
| Notes 2 | The song is of the type in which you take the eight syllable line, split it in half, and sing alternating vocables after the end of each half-line. |
| Notes 3 | There are additional lines in the collection's notes for this song which have not been reproduced here. |
