Notes 1 |
In this song the bard tells about a sea journey that he undertook. The vessel sailed from Leith and they had over one hundred and fifty people onboard. However, only three of them returned home to port. Many a wife was left without a husband and many a sister was left without a brother because of the tragedy. The bard is very sad and he cannot even raise a tune. |
