Haud Your Tongue Dear Sally
(Trad./Arr.: Andy M. Stewart/Phil Cunningham)
This beautiful and unusual song comes from Aberdeenshire in the North East of Scotland, its melody is well-known and is one of the loveliest in the Tradition. The song itself is relatively unknown, however, which is surprising considering its poignancy and quality. The lyrics were given to Andy by Kathleen Clark, a singer from Aberdeen.
The Ramblin' Rover
(Words and Music: Andy M. Stewart)
See the lyrics at Cantaria, a library of traditional songs
If there is a "recipe" for consistently having a great time than this gent seems to have found it! He favours a roving life spent in traveling with a bunch of good friends in search of a common goal - fun.
By The Hush
(Trad./Arr.: Andy M. Stewart/Phil Cunningham)
Exile songs seem to Andy to have been wrung from the very souls of their creators: the yearning of the exile for his Home and begging perhaps the very essence of the emotion of sadness. Happily for the emigrant, he may not only left behind his native land, but also the hunger and persecution that forced him overseas.
In "By the Hush" the unfortunate man sells up and leaves his farm in famine-torn Ireland for a new life in America, only to find on arrival that he has been drafted into the Army of President Lincoln, to fight in the Civil War. In one of the Battles that follows he is severely wounded and thus the song's chorus carries a chilling warning to anyone contemplating emigration to America. The song ends with the powerfully simple line - "I wish I was at home in dear old Erin".
The Orphans' Wedding
(Words and Music: Andy M. Stewart)
In the village in which Andy grew up, there lived a strange eccentric and fascinating old man. He knew everything there was to know about the countryside and countrylore, from dry-fly trout fishing to build a drystone dyke. One day Andy's Mother told him of the bizarre event that completely changed his, and another, young life. This is his true and tragic story in song.
Patrick Sheehan
(Trad./Arr.: Andy M. Stewart/Phil Cunningham)
See the lyrics on Cantaria
Eviction! A terrifying ordeal endured by the gentle inhabitants of Gaeldom. From the Highlands of Scotland to the Green Glens of Ireland, they were subjected to the heartless barbarism of Landlord and Sheriff, Soldier and Constabulary. This powerful ballad describes how a young man is forced by eviction and near-starvation to join the English Army, although his only wish is to continue farming in Ireland. He is blinded at the Battle of Sebastopol in the Crimea, but knows he can never return to Aherlow, as he would face the rejections of his neighbours for having enlisted as a soldier.
Andy learned this song when he was about fourteen from a man from the Island of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Although obviously Irish, it is known and sung in Lewis as a traditional song. Its melody has a haunting Hebridian feel to it, quite different from some Irish versions Andy has heard, where it is sung to the melody of "The Homes of Donegal". Years after learning "Patrick Sheehan", Andy found that it was written by Charles Joseph Kickham, born in Tipperary in 1830, who became a leader-writer for the "Irish People" - a paper concerned with the Fenian Movement. For the humanitarian outflowings of his pen, Kickham was sentenced by the Government to fourteen years' penal servitude. His comment on the conclusion of his trial was terse: "I have endeavoured" he said "to serve Ireland, and now I am prepared to suffer for Ireland". Four years after his conviction he was released.
The Parish Of Dunkeld
(Trad./Arr.: Andy M. Stewart/Phil Cunningham)
See the lyrics at Cantaria, a library of traditional songs
The most outrageous true story Andy has ever come across in any song! An indication as to the character of the inhabitants of this Perthshire parish (in earlier times of course) is given by the series of events which take place in this song. Unable to withstand the incredible severity of life under their Church and doubtless "fire and brimstone" Minister, the congregation got together one day - and hung him.
The good people then silenced the ever-tolling bell and constructed a large Whisky Still inside the Church. With the wonderful produce of that blessed invention and with McDonald the piper blasting away in the pulpit on his pipes, their Sundays were transformed into a series of tremendous Ceilidhs.
The words were given to Andy be Martin Hadden and Andy has set them to the old Jacobite air "Over the
Water to Charlie".
The Curlew
(Trad./Arr.: Andy M. Stewart/Phil Cunningham)
They Wounded Old Ireland
(Words and Music: Andy M. Stewart)
This song deals with two recent periods in Irish history - some of the events leading up to the formation of the Irish Republic, and the present-day situation in Ulster. The cause of the "troubles" is well-enough documented in history books, the song, however, is simply Andy's prayer for Peace and maybe one day happiness for the peoples of the North, and an end to the violence that has claimed so many innocents.
I'd Cross The Wild Atlantic
(Words and Music: Andy M. Stewart)
Andy wrote this love song around an old Gaelic poem he found. He likes to think that is has a happy ending.

Treorachadh (Phil Cunningham)
This introducing Pibroch style melody leading into the "I Mourn For The Highlands" song was written by Phil, and the title, Treorachadh, is the Gaelic word meaning simply, Introduction.
I Mourn For The Highlands
(Words: Traditional, Music: Andy M. Stewart)
The beautiful evocative poetry in this song conjures up a series of vivid images of the devastating effect the Highland Clearances had on the North of Scotland. It strongly condemns those landowners who cleared the glens of families who had lived there for generations. They did this in order to turn the land over to the more profitable pursuits of large scale sheep farming and as a haven for rich sportsmen who wished to hunt the Red Deer, or fish for Salmon.
The Gold Claddagh Ring
(Words and Music: Andy M. Stewart)
The Claddagh ring originated in an area known as The Claddagh near Galway City in the West of Ireland. The ring has a unique design, that of a heart being encircled by a pair of delicate hands. In this song, the young man's heart is well and truly in the hands of the girl he admires from afar. On getting to know her better, he falls falls victim to a clever ploy.
Fire In The Glen
(Words and Music: Andy M. Stewart)
A song of a man who has become tired of fighting for other people's causes, finally realizing that whoever is king or master over him matters little in term of his own happiness and well-being. The sight of "fire in the glen" - the deliberate burning of the crofters' homes by the landlords in order to enforce eviction notices, proves to be the last straw fro him. He elects to head for America, a republic which boasts equality and "allegiance to no crown".
The Spare Shillin'
(Manus Lunny)
The Viszla's Rambles
(Phil Cunningham)
The Lying Dew
(Phil Cunningham)
NIL SO I nGRA (She's Not In Love)
(Words and Music: Manus Lunny)
The young man in this song has been forced into marriage by social and family pressures rather than for love. His only consolation is that his wife also feels the same way, enabling them to part without animosity. The translation of the third verse from the Irish is as follows:
But now I am happy
And I have no hatred in my heart
For this trick that was played on my mind
Is gone like the morning mist
Watkins' Wee Red Whiskers
(Words and Music: Andy M. Stewart)
This song was written by Andy for Bill Watkins.
All Hail To Mevagissey
(Phil Cunningham1)
Phil wrote this for the fine people of The Plymouth Folk Club who looked after him so well on a recent visit.
The Girls At Martinfields
(Phil Cunningham1)
Phil wrote this for his three adopted aunties on The Isle of Skye.
Young Jimmy In Flanders
(Words and Music: Andy M. Stewart)
Andy wrote this song for his grandfather, who, as young piper, was forced to endure the horror and lunacy that was the First World War. Somehow, thankfully, he survived. The song is in the form of a conversation between the recruiting officer, the piper, and his wife. It was inspired by the traditional song, Will Ye Go To Flanders?
Brighidin Ban Mo Store
(Words: Tradional/Music: Andy M. Stewart)
It would be difficult to find a song that expresses more love, hope, and expectation than this one. This song was given to Andy by Bill Watkins who remembers it being sung in his grandmother's house in Limerick in the 1950's. Brighidin Ban Mo Store was translated from the Irish by Edward Walsh (1805-1850) who made the following notes: "The proper name Brighit or Bride signifies a fiery dart, and was the name given to the Goddess of Poetry in Pagan Ireland." A more flowery version of the song appears in The Cabinet of Irish Literature, Vol. III, 1879.
Ferry Me Over
(Words and Music: Andy M. Stewart)
When going home has become overdue, it can produce some pretty strong emotions. This song is a celebration of returning home. The instrumental break is actually the first half of a tune written by Phil, entitled, The Spring Moon Over Gairloch. It was pure coincidence that this tune worked as a counterpoint to Andy's song, as the two pieces were written independently of each other.

Rantin' Rovin Robin
(Robert Burns Arr. Lunny/Stewart)
This song commemorates an incident which occurred when Robert Burns was only a few days old:
"Our monarch's hindmost year but ane
Was five and twenty days begun
'Twas then a blast o' Janwar win'
Blew hansel in on Robin."
The incident is best described in a letter by Gilbert Burns (Robert's brother), first printed in "Dr. Currie's Edition of 1803."
"When my father built his clay biggin', he put in two stone jambs, as they are called, and a lintel, carrying up the chimney in his clay-gable. The consequence was that as the gable subsided, the jambs remaining firm threw it off its center; and one very stormy morning when my brother was nine or ten days old, a little before daylight, a part of the gable fell out and the rest appeared so shattered that my mother, with the young poet, had to be carried through the storm to a neighbor's house, where they remained a week till their own dwelling was adjusted."
(From the third edition of "The Burns Encyclopedia" by Maurice Lindsay, pub. 1980, St. Martin's Press, Inc. New York)
Ca' The Yowes To The Knowes
(Robert Burns Arr. Lunny/Stewart)
Mrs. Burns, who was fond of singing this song, used to point out that the second verse and the closing verse were by the poet. Burns remodeled it for Thomson's Collection, which is the version used on this album. Tibbie Pagan of Muirkirk is the reputed authoress of the old set amended by Burns.
The poet says of this song in a letter to Thomson*:
"I am flattered at your adopting the 'Ca' The Yowes To The Knowes', as it was owing to me that it ever saw the light. When I gave it to Johnson*, I added some stanzas to the song and mended others; but still it will not do for you. In a solitary stroll which I took today, I tried my hands on a few pastoral lines following up the ideas of the chorus, which I would preserve. Here it is, with all its crudities and imperfections on its head."
Mr Thomson, in reply, calls the song "a precious merceau" and adds:
"I am perfectly astonished and charmed with the endless variety of your fancy."
(From "Scottish Songs Illustrated," pub. 1890, Adam and Gee, middle Street, West Smithfield, London)
* George Thomson and James Johnson -- Burns' editors)
Is There For Honest Poverty (For A' That)
(Robert Burns/Arr. Lunny/Stewart)
This world-renowned production was composed in January, 1795. Burns says, "This song is mine, all except the chorus," and his name is attached to it in the publication "Scot's Musical Museum." It is simply the "Bard's Song" in the "Jolly Beggars," omitting the first two verses, and substituting for these the present opening verse and fresh chorus.
The poet's observations on sending it were as follows:
"A great critic (Aikin) on songs says that love and wine are exclusive themes for songwriting. The following is on neither subject and consequently is no sing; but will be allowed, I think, to contain two or three pretty good prose thoughts invented into rhyme. I do not give it for your book, but merely by way of 'vive la bagatelle,' for the piece is not really poetry."
(From "Scottish Songs Illustrated," pub. 1890, Adam and Gee, Middle Street, West Smithfield, London)
Green Grow The Rashes, O
(Robert Burns / Arr. Lunny/Stewart)
This is one of the most characteristic of all Burns' songs, although one of his earliest. Founded on an old and licentious song with the same chorus, he set it down in his "Commonplace Book" in August 1784. During this period, Burns kept a notebook of his thoughts and poetry known as "The First Commonplace Book" with some rambling remarks on "the various species of young men" whom he divides into two classes -- "the grave and the merry." The last stanza is not included in the copy inserted in the first "Commonplace Book," therefore the presumption is that he added it while in Edinburgh.
(From "The People's Edition of the Poetical Works of Robert Burns," as arranged and annotated by W. Scott Douglas. Revised, corrected and condensed by D. McNaught, Kilmaurs, Scotland, pub. 1903)
Ae Fond Kiss
(Robert Burns/Arr. Lunny/Stewart)
"Ae fond kiss and then we sever..." This immortal lyric has Burns' name attached to it in the publication "The Scot's Musical Museum." Clarinda (Mrs. M'Lehose) sailed for Jamaica from Leith in February, 1792 in "The Roselle" -- the sane ship which Burns had intended to sail in from The Clyde in 1786. Meeting with unkindness from her husband, she returned to Scotland in the same vessel, arriving in Edinburgh in August, 1792. Burns never saw her again, although a few letters passed between them. The present composition is Burns' poetical farewell to her.
Sir Walter Scott thought that "Ae Fond Kiss" contained "the essence of a thousand love tales."
(From "The People's Edition of the Poetical Works of Robert Burns" and the third edition of "The Burns Encyclopedia" by Maurice Lindsay)
Hey, Ca' Thro'
(Robert Burns/Arr. Lunny/Stewart)
This song was never in print before it appeared in Johnson's Volume, and tradition has supplied another verse as follows:
"Never break your heart for love
Just turn the boat about
There's as gude hish i' the sea
As ever yet cam' out.
(Hey, ca' thro', etc.)
Dysart, Buckhaven, Largo and Leven are four fishing villages on the south coast of Fife.
(From "The People's Edition of the Poetical Works of Robert Burns")
Hey How Johnie Lad
(Robert Burns/Arr. Lunny/Stewart)
There is an unsigned version of "Hey How" in the fourth volume of "The Scot's Musical Museum" containing some alterations and an extra verse from that found in David Herd's manuscript (1776). It is unclear as to how much Burns had to do with this song, but according to an authority on Burns, Robert D. Thornton, Burns had to find a tune, as Herd mentions none, and work out words and melody. These words are set to the tune "The Lasses of the Ferry." Apparently, no one before Burns had ever set these words to that melody.
(From notes for the album "The Songs of Robert Burns, sung by Jean Redpath, Volume II," researched by Serge Hovey, © 1988 by Philo Records, Licensed by Greentrax Records)
The Lea - Rig
(Robert Burns/Arr. Lunny/Stewart)
Burns, in sending this song to George Thomson, which he had founded upon an olden composition with the same title, wrote:
"On reading over 'The Lea Rig,' I immediately set trying my hand upon it, and after all, I could make nothing more of it than the following..."
(From "The People's Edition of the Poetical Works of Robert Burns")
It Was A' For Our Rightfu' King
(Robert Burns/Arr. Lunny/Stewart)
This very fine ballad, with its beautiful air, was supplied by Burns to the Scot's Musical Museum* -- but no name is attached to it. One of its verses, and perhaps the best, "He turned him right and round about," is found in copies of a stallballad of no value, called, "Mally Stewart," and Burns' authorship has been questioned on this slender pretext.
A Red, Red Rose
(Robert Burns/Arr. Lunny/Stewart)
This song was an improvement of a street ballad, which is said to have been written by a Lieutenant Henches, as a farewell to his betrothed.
(From "Scottish Songs Illustrated")
To The Weaver's Gin Ye Go
(Robert Burns/Arr. Lunny/Stewart)
The poet says in his manuscript notes: "The chorus of this song is old, the rest is mine. Here, once for all, let me apologise for many silly compositions of mine in this work. Many beautiful airs wanted words, and, in hurry of other avocations, if I could string a parcel of rhymes together anything nearly tolerable, I was fain to let them pass. He must be an excellent poet indeed, whose every performance is excellent."
(From "The People's Edition of the Poetical Works of Robert Burns")

The Echo Mocks The Corncrake
(Trad./Arr. Stewart/O'Beirne)
The corncrake is a bird whose mechanical-sounding call was once a common sound throughout rural Scotland, but is now found only in parts of the Western Isles. Andy M. first heard this song at family ceilidhs when he was a child and loved its spirit. It extols the virtue and worth of a simple life close to nature and the land.
Island of Sorrows
(Words: Thomas Moore (1780-1852); Music Gerry O'Beirne/Andy M. Stewart)
This song refers to Sarah Curran who was engaged to the Irish patriot Robert Emmet. Emmet was captured and hanged in Dublin for his part in the failed insurrection against the English in 1803. Sarah Curran later became the wife of an officer who took her to Sicily hoping that travel would restore her spirits. Alas, her grief for the martyred Emmet was so great she died of broken heart.
The Gaberlunzieman
(Words: King James V (1512-1542); Music: Trad./Arr. with additional lyrics by Andy M. Stewart)
This delightful old song is said to have been penned by the "Merry Monarch", King James V, father of Marry Queen of the Scots. It is said that he would disguise himself as a poor man and go out amongst the common people. He was reputed to be a skillful musician and prolific poet although the Gaberlunzieman may be all that survived of his writings. A gaberlunzieman, or traveling mechanic, would mend and make articles of everyday necessity for the people he encountered as he traveled the country.
The Man in the Moon
(Words: Bill Dickson; Music: Kathy Stewart)
This song, a recent composition, is extremely moving in the way that it interconnects the human spirit, the land, and the seasons.
Kathy-Anne's Waltz
(Andy M. Stewart)
This tune is for Kathy Stewart.
Listen to the People
(Andy M. Stewart)
Have you ever wondered if politicians carry out the will of the people or carry out their own agenda despite it?
Sweet King Williams Town
(Trad./Arr. Andy M. Stewart/Gerry O'Beirne)
Andy learned this song from the singing of Cбra Dillon, a great young singer from Northern Ireland. It is an emigration ballad which, in common with the genre, is at once poignant, sad and beautiful. King Williams Town is now known as Ballydesmond in County Cork, Ireland.
The Errant Apprentice (ABC notation)
(Words: Bill Watkins; Music: Andy M. Stewart/Gerry O'Beirne)
This bizarre tale was written by Andy M. Stewart's old pal and sparring partner, Bill Watkins.
MacGregor's Gathering
(Words: Sir Walter Scott; Music: Andy M. Stewart; Arr. Stewart/O'Beirne)
Much has been written on the trials, tribulations, heroes and history of this ancient clan. This song deals with the family's darkest hour during their "proscription" by the government. Proscription meant that it was a capital crime merely to admit to having the surname MacGregor. In addition, lands held by the clan for many generations were forfeited to the government. This song is dedicated to Andy M. Stewart's mother.
The Lakes of Pontchartrain
(Trad./Arr. Stewart/O'Beirne)
Lake Pontchartrain is in Lousiana, USA, just to the north of New Orleans. This song, which I believe dates from the time of the American Civil War, has long been a favorite of Andy M. Stewart.
The Land O' The Leal
(Words: Lady Nairne; Music: Trad./Arr. Stewart/Cunningham)
For many years this song was mistakenly thought to be the work of Robert Burns intil it finally emerged that it was written by Lady Nairne. Lady Nairne was descended from an old Jacobite family from Perthshire and had written many fine songs in favour of the exiled Stuarts. She was extremely modest and preferred to publish her songs anonymously. The "Land O' the Leal" in the context of this song, means Heaven.

Ramblin' Irishman
Trad. Arr: G. O'Beirne & A.M. Stewart
The first time I heard this song was back in the seventies, when the great Delores Keane sang it with De Dannan. I've loved it (and Delores' singing) ever since. It has a great "go" to it and is unusual amongst many emigration ballads for its emphasis on looking forward with hope to a new life in "Amerikay" rather than just looking back with sadness to what was left behind.
Matt Hyland
Trad. Arr: A. M. Stewart & G. O'Beirne
This old song has a very beautiful melody and lovely lyrics and, I believe, originates from the North of Ireland, although it was in the far North of Scotland where I first heard it many years ago.
Gallant Murray (Gathering of Athole) / The White Rose
Trad. Arr: G. O'Beirne & A.M. Stewart
The hero of this song was Lord George Murray, the fifth son of the first Duke of Athole (now spelled Atholl), who, along with his brother the marquis of Tullibardine, had taken part in the 1715 Jacobite uprising. Murray was wounded at the battle of Glenshiel in 1719, but managed to escape abroad where he served for some years as an officer in the Sardinian army. He eventually received a pardon and returned to Scotland. On Prince Charles Edward Stuart's arrival in Scotland, Lord George joined his standard at Perth in September, 1745. He was appointed as one of the Lieutenants-General of the rebel forces and acted as such at the battles of Prestonpans, Falkirk and the final and disastrous Culloden. He was pronounced as having committed high treason but again escaped abroad. He went to Paris in June 1747, but the "Young Pretender," in spite of all Murray had done and sacrificed for the cause, refused to see him. He then traveled to Rome where he was received with great ceremony by the "Old Pretender," Prince Charlie's father, who gave him rooms in his palace and introduced him to the Pope. He died on 11th October, 1760 at Medenblinck in Holland and left and excellent military memoir on the exploits of the insurgent army of "the Forty-Five." I love the spirit in this song and it is brilliant fun to sing live. A very small tribute to a brave man.
Queen Amangst The Heather
Trad. Arr: A. M. Stewart & G. O'Beirne
This was a song I remember from family ceilidhs when I was very young and it was a great favourite of my grandfather, Andy MacGregor from Perthshire. There are many songs in the tradition where two young people of different social classes are tragically attracted to each other, but in this song the young girl is far too smart to be really taken in by the blandishments of the rich young man. However, this doesn't prevent her from having a bit of a fling with him. The version of the song that I sing is from Perthshire, but my father, who was from Banffshire, sang a version which contained the lyric: "And the color of her petticoats were plain tae be seen, they were the colour of the bells of the carlin heather."
Tibbie Fowler O' The Glen
Trad. Arr: G. O'Beirne & A.M. Stewart
This humourous old ballad was first printed complete in Johnson's Scots Musical Museum in 1789. It was, however, popular much earlier, and a song in the Tea Table Miscellany of 1725 is directed to be sung "to the tune of Tibbie fowler 'o the Glen." I like the song, amongst other things, for it's unusual melody and good drive although the lyric does point to the fact that men are avaricious and largely irredeemable. "Tibbie" is the Scots diminutive for Isabella.
Reckless Affection
Words & music: A.M. Stewart
This is a tale of temptation, confusion and forbidden love.
The Irish Stranger
Trad. Arr: A. M. Stewart & G. O'Beirne
I came across this little gem of a song in Dublin in 1996, in an old collection. It highlights the struggle of the ordinary folk whose simple lifestyle and humble possessions, according to this song, still attracted the greedy attentions of the land-owning class. Evictions were commonplace in the 18th century in both Ireland and Scotland and many had to "take to the road," or sell themselves into bonded servitude for a period of years to pay for their passage to the Americas. In spite of its sad subject matter, the song somehow gives me the impression that its central character will go on and survive, however resignedly.
Mary And The Hielan' Sodger
Trad. Arr: A. M. Stewart & G. O'Beirne
Oh the glamour of a man in uniform! This is my version of this old song, but there are many others, with versions coming from Lucy Stewart from Aberdeenshire and a wonderful Irish version, called Mary and the Soldier, recorded by Paul Brady and Andy Irvine on their classic album from 1976.
The Banks Of Sweet Dundee
Trad. Arr: A. M. Stewart & G. O'Beirne
The city of Dundee lies in the county of Angus at the mouth of the River Tay in Scotland, about 19 miles from where I was born. However, I learned this song from the singing of the great Joe Heaney from Carna, Galway, in West Connemara, whom I first met by accident one Sunday in 1979 whilst taking a stroll in New York's Central Park! Joe was rightly recognised as a giant amongst traditional singers and is now sadly missed.
When You Took Your Love (From Me)
Words & music: A.M. Stewart
Two close friends of mine ended their relationship. As is often the case one seemed to be doing just fine, though I know for a fact that they were both hurting. This is from the point of view of one of them.
Donegal Rain
Lyrics: A.M. Stewart / Traditional
Music: A.M. Stewart / Kathy Stewart
Two lovers cruelly separated by political circumstances, but there is hope that love will win through in the end.

Как и отмечал в этой теме sinor_pomidor, "на оригинале индексы не соответствуют началу песен ... ...Индексы на Donegal Rain - если слушать все подряд, то никаких проблем не заметно. Если попытаться проигрывать отдельную песню (все, кроме первой, естественно), то, поскольку индекс неверный, скакнет не на самое начало, а на полсекунды-секунду позже. Т.е. не с первого такта заиграет таким образом.
Я держал в руках два оригинальных диска. На обоих была эта проблема. Поэтому я себе ЕАС-ом перегнал в вав и, подкрутив индексы в cue, загнал на болванку. Совпадение с оригиналом, теперь не полное, таким образом, зато можно потреково слушать и перегонять куда надо".
В подтверждение его слов прикладываю скриншот, сделанный в Steinberg WaveLab:

Так что, если есть желание иметь точную копию оригинального диска, используем Donegal Rain.cue. Если же целью является комфортное прослушивание или нарезка на треки, пользуемся Donegal Rain_fixed (ape).cue
