RE: [scots-l] Dumbarton's drum
Nigel: Thanks alot. Particularly the info regarding two possible tunes. Frankly, I don't know which one. I am looking for the tune used by the Military, the Royal Scots. I am playing at a military ceremony in September and want to be able to play it on that occasion.

The tune is indeed in RSCDS booklet 5 (dance 2), but it's in F/Dm, which turns that high C into a high Bb. Neither key works for the pipes, but then, it's not obvious how you would fold this into a pipe tune. Is there a pipe setting of this tune? Here's my transcription from the RSCDS page: X: 1 T: Dumbarton's Drums B: RSCDS 5-2 B: Playford 1697 B: McGibbon 1763 M: C| L: 1/8 K: F |: FG | FA3c C7ABGA | FF2cd c2BA | GmGFGA BAGF | D2de C7d2cd | Ff3g agfd || | FcAcd f3F | GmGAfd AmcAGF | DmD2de d2 :: cd | Ff3g fgag | f2ab a2gf | | Gmgfga bagf | d2ga C7g2fd | Fcdfg (Bb)agfd | FcAcd Dmf2fg | Amagfd |cAGF | DmD2de d2 :| (Let's see if this makes it through without line wrapping. ;-) Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
[scots-l] lyrics site
Hi Listers, I'm looking for lyrics to 'Gallant Murray' (sung by Andy Stewart). Does anyone know of any lyrics sites on the net? I've tried Mudcat... they don't have 'em. Thanks!

Does anyone know of any lyrics sites on the net? I've tried Mudcat... they don't have 'em. Thanks! Kate From the Andy M. Stewart Collection, p. 89: Gallant Murray Wha will ride wi' gallant Murray? Wha will ride wi' Geordie's sel'? he's the floow'r o' a' Glenisla' And the darlin' o' Dunkel'. See the white rose in his bonnet! See his banner o'er the Tay! His gude sword' he now has drawn it, And has flung the sheath away. Every faithful Murray follows; First of heroes! best of men! Every true and trusty Stewart Blythely leaves his native glen. Athole lads are lads of honour, Westland rogues are rebels a'; When we come within their border, We may gar the Campbell's claw. Chorus: Wha will ride etc. Menzies, he's our friend and brother; Gask and Strowan are nae slack! Noble Perth has ta'en the field, And a' the Drummonds at his back. Let us ride wi' gallant Murray, Let us fight for Charlie's crown; From the right we'll never sinder Till we bring the tyrants down. Chorus: Mackintosh, the gallant soldier Wi' the Grahams and Gordons gay, They have ta'en the field of honour, Spite of all their chiefs could say. Point the musket bend the rapier, Shfit the brog for lowland shoe, Scour the durk, and face the danger, Mackintosh has all to do. Chorus: Cheers== Janice in GA Nil significat nisi oscillat.
