This tune for Mairi's Wedding was composed by John Bannerman (d.1938) to his own Gaelic text. The English words were written by Hugh Roberton (d.1952).
I am from Bangladesh I am a care worker my all of clients they used to sing this song that's why I come to learn this song🥰 If sing this song with them so I can make them happy
That's my middle name given to me by my Scottish parents and while I still lived in Scotland. (Now a Canadian!) It is now the name of my fourth child...Mairi Rathy! Great Gaeilic name.
Congratulations, you are my fellow Ulster Scot. They used to call themselves Scots Irish. Quite a few of the USA founding fathers were also 'Scots Irish'.
I nearly got launched 🚀 into the air and into the tables full of food at a ceilidh with this song by a big farmers wife 🤣😂🤣😂 She could dance 💃 I felt like a rag doll. This was at Quarriers village near Kilmacolm 2001-2 new year.
Unfourtonately I am not learning the violin just yet, but I am saving up to play a few instruments including the violin :D So when I start learning, that would be really fun! ^-^ Thanks! :D
Cool! :D I bet it will be wonderful! ^-^ I will be posting more music, so if you would like any traditional song with the lyrics, I will be happy to post them for you! :D If you would like anyone to critique your music, Ill be happy to do so also :P And Im here and glad to help! :D
I remember year ago my uncle sang this but with a verse " my mother said if i would play with the gypsies in the wood" is this right or did he make it up ?
I am guessing he made it up, as I have not seen any version of this song with that verse, nor do I see where that lyric could fit in, though I am curious which part of the song he put that lyric in, would you mind sharing that? However, there is a song called 'My Mother Said I never should' which has a lyric almost exactly like that, perhaps he had sung a bit of that? Here is that song if you wish to listen :D th-cam.com/video/cpAkXnHlboU/w-d-xo.html
@@EquineRose-Rosie- thanks for clearing this up, I reckon he probably sang this song and I've incorrectly set it to the wrong tune,I probably will continue to sing it incorrectly but it's good memories, thank you for setting me right x
I was taught sheiling (being huts or collections of), round all the buildings it goes more sensibly with the next line of through the town, than a coin surely.
Scottish mountain huts where shepherds would live during summer whilst their animals grazed . Nowadays some can still be found as "bothies" where hikers can take shelter or spend the night whilst walking in the Scottish Highlands
Shieling (Scottish Gaelic: àirigh), also spelt sheiling, shealing & sheeling, is a collection of huts, common in the hills and mountains of Scotland and northern England. A shilling is English currency, I should know I am English LOL

It is often sung by the Irish folk groups, the "Chieftans" sang it and then did it with Van Hallen, not my favourite rendition. But then a lot of the Irish songs are sung by Scottish groups. But it is originally form the Hebrides. It was translated by Sir Hugh Roberton into English form Scottish gaelic. It is a beautiful song none the less

This is exactly right It was written in Gaelic from the Hebrides. My husband is related to Hugh Roberton. he also translated the Mingulay Boat Song .

My grandfather used to sing this..he was student of Scottish missionary school sikkim Namthang [india]around 1957 ...reminiscing
The third line of the chorus is “Arm and arm and row and row”. Slightly puzzling but there it is.
Should read "row in row" Similarly "shillings" should read "shielings" i.e. hamlet/village.
I am learning to play this on the hammer dulcmer. great song
Nice, I wish you luck with it!
Yeah, same here but on the Great Highland Bagpipe

FCMB Phoenix 15, it's actually Gaelic but it IS from Scotland. True fact.
