Story Behind the Song
Who was Morag a Cheannaich, and why was she so special that her wedding song is still performed today? Our impression is that she was a free spirit - in spite of the rough times in which she lived.
Lyrics
(Morag) There is so much to do before I can post the bans; there is so much to do before I can get married.
(Crowd) I bhi a bhi u bha, here's to your health, Morag!
(The Bridegroom) Rings and beads and all I have I will give to Morag.
(Crowd) I bhi a bhi u bha, here's to your health, Morag!
