This didn't chime with me. Apart from the poor internal rhyme, the sense is different from He's gyen ower land wiv his stick iv his hand which is how I've heard it sung. There's a version on http://www.folkinfo.org/songs/displaysong.php?songid=74 with 'ower land' My question is, is there a meaning apart from the obvious in the notion of the Keelman going "oe'r land" in this song and in the title of the pipe tune?
