Notes 1 "The song is of the type of an eight-syllable line divided into halves, with penultimate syllables rhyming. On that basis it is clear that the second halves of the first and third lines have been forgotten."
Notes 2 For a clearer outline of the song's structure, see the transcription from Angus 'The Ridge' MacDonald on the MacEdward Leach Collection website.
