| Notes 1 | "About the year 1831 Donald MacDonald, Beaver Meadow, Dòmhnull Iain Bhàin, had a raffle on a watch in his father’s house. Every person who attended had to pay half a dollar. The young people in the neighbourhood were present. Those mentioned in the song are the old and middle-aged men who lived near. Some of them were not at the raffle. The poet himself was not there. All the men referred to are now dead." |
