The tune is traditional however the lyrics were written by Jim McLean and tell the story of the savagery and mass deportations of the Highland Clearances of the 18th and 19th centuries. The lullaby is followed immediately by a second lullaby from the Simon Fraser collection - 1816 - entitled "Who will Dandle my Mary". |
