Title: Scottish folk songs
Post by: Dragon on September 14, 2013, 08:24:31 pm
I'm a big fan of Scottish and Irish folk, especially old bands such as The Corries and Irish Rovers. Recently, I came across this video:
There are 4 very old tracks here, all from The Corrie Folk Trio & Paddie Bell. I'd really appreciate some help with identifying them. I can only recognize 3 and 4.
1 - Yellow Girls
2 - My Love She's but a Lassie Yet
3 - The Singing Games
4 - Johnnie Lad
EDIT: Identified the first two, thanks to PH.

from my scotsman powers i can determine that the first one is yellow girls (modulo variant spellings), the second is my love is but a lassie yet (hey i actually recognised that one without googling the lyrics)

Could you link me to the lyrics for the first one? Unsurprisingly, Google doesn't help much with a title like that.
EDIT: Nevemind, I remembered that I've heard it in some "shanties&sea songs" collection. Found it after mentioning that to Google.

i occasionally get a hankering for folk metal. usually its scandinavian but there is an irish band that is ****ing awesome.
never thought to look for scottish bands though. but a guy in a kilt shreding a guitar would be ****ing epic.
