Notes 2 |
The metadata for the Cape Breton Gaelic Folklore Collection has been compiled from an index at St FX University and additional information was entered by volunteers during online transcription frolics in 2021. At the end of the Language in Lyrics project in March 2022, the metadata is still incomplete and it is hoped that further funding will be secured for a project dedicated to expanding the metadata and completing transcriptions for these songs. |

Notes 4 |
Audio file does not contain the song, but introduces the backstory to the song. Anna Ruadh used to harvest a field for [John?] and sell the crop. One year her brother's daugher and a friend went ahead and sold it before her. The owner was not pleased, and then Dòmhnall Thormaid composed this song. |
