Song of the Week – Moorland Meg
Well, we’re back to bawdy song this week. I’m not sure how old the piece is but “Moorland Meg” was referenced in a copy of “The Citizen” in an article about “The Chandler’s Daughter’s Wedding from 1829. There seem to have been multiple songs with this title though so I’m not sure if they are referring to this version. However, Robert Burns apparently refers to it as a “Scots Song” in a collection from 1834.

I think this is the last bawdy song unless I can get some permissions to post more. In fact I am kind of running out of songs I can do without getting permissions from the authors. Unfortunately I am having trouble contacting many folks so might have to post links to other versions of songs or some such thing.
I’m also starting a third page of Song-of-the-Week entries. to make it easier to deal with.
Gathering of the Clans is next weekend. Perhaps I’ll see you there.
