Like others, I used to see them all the time in Houston, mostly at the Mucky Duck. Miss them! thanks for the blast from the past!

I have one of his cds and play it a lot. My husband and I were able to visit Scotland for the first time May of 2024. I hope to go back one day.

My brother played this at my mom’s funeral in 2005. Her name is Peggy

Absolutely magnificent rendition

Saw them live in PA a long time ago. Great band.

Wow

RIP Alex. You may be gone from us in body, but your spirit and music will last forever!!!

It makes me sad in my soul more than it has any right to

You had your chance to be free of the English but you voted against it. Why? Those of us here whose ancestry goes back to the Old Country wonder if there will ever be another chance.

Lyrics: Donald come up the hill hard and hungry, Donalds come doon the hill wild and angry; Donald will clear the gouk's nest cleverly, [gouk = cuckoo] Here's to King James and to Donald McGillavry. Come like a weigh-bauk, Donald McGillavry, [weigh-bauk = scales] Come like a weigh-bauk, Donald McGillavry, Balance them fair, and balance them cleverly: Off wi' the counterfeit, Donald McGillavry. Donald come o'er the hill but his tether, man, As he were wud, or stang'd wi' an ether, man; [wud = mad][ stung by an adder] When he comes back, there's some will look merrily: Here's to King James and to Donald McGillavry. Come like a weaver, Donald McGillavry, Come like a weaver, Donald McGillavry, Pack on your back, and elwand sae cleverly; Up wi King James and with Donald McGillavry Donald has foughten wi' rief and roguery; [rief = banditry] Donald has dinner'd wi banes and beggary, [banes = bones] Better it were for Whigs and Whiggery Meeting the devil than Donald McGillavry. Come like a tailor, Donald McGillavry, Come like a tailor, Donald McGillavry, Push about, in and out, thimble them cleverly Up wi King James and with Donald McGillavry. Donald's the callan that brooks nae tangleness; [callan = fine fellow] Whigging and prigging and a'newfangleness, They maun be gane: he winna be baukit, man: [baukit = balked] He will hae justice, or faith he'll tak it, man. Come like a cobler, Donald McGillavry, Come like a cobler, Donald McGillavry; Beat them, and bore them, and lingel them cleverly, [lingel = shoemaker's thread] Up wi' King James and wi' Donald McGillavry. Donald was mumpit wi' mirds and mockery; [lulled with flattery] Donald was blinded wi' blads o' property; [blads = lots] Arles ran high, but makings were naething, man, [Arles = Thrashing] Lord, how Donald hes flyting and fretting, man. [flyt = scold] Come like the devil, Donald McGillavry, Come like the devil, Donald McGillavry; [skelp = chastise] Skelp them and scaud them that proved sae unbritherly, [scaud = scold] Up wi' King James and wi' Donald McGillavry!

Sublime 😍 celtique et tzigane en harmonie

Love it so soothing!

We need to reclaim our land brothers and sisters, restore morality and harmonic living

Take me home, to a place without councils and governed by the people fairly

Nice arrangement. Lovely harmony and tempo.

Does anybody know what the lyrics at 0:40 are?

Thank you, Mr. Beaton. I remember The Valley of the Heart's Delight, before it became "Silicon Valley." RIP, sir. We love you very much.
