This tune for Mairi's Wedding was composed by John Bannerman (d.1938) to his own Gaelic text. The English words were written by Hugh Roberton (d.1952).

This is exactly right It was written in Gaelic from the Hebrides. My husband is related to Hugh Roberton. he also translated the Mingulay Boat Song .

I am from Bangladesh I am a care worker my all of clients they used to sing this song that's why I come to learn this song🥰 If sing this song with them so I can make them happy

That's my middle name given to me by my Scottish parents and while I still lived in Scotland. (Now a Canadian!) It is now the name of my fourth child...Mairi Rathy! Great Gaeilic name.

Congratulations, you are my fellow Ulster Scot. They used to call themselves Scots Irish. Quite a few of the USA founding fathers were also 'Scots Irish'.

The third line of the chorus is “Arm and arm and row and row”. Slightly puzzling but there it is.

Should read "row in row" Similarly "shillings" should read "shielings" i.e. hamlet/village.

I am learning to play this on the hammer dulcmer. great song

I nearly got launched 🚀 into the air and into the tables full of food at a ceilidh with this song by a big farmers wife 🤣😂🤣😂 She could dance 💃 I felt like a rag doll. This was at Quarriers village near Kilmacolm 2001-2 new year.

Thank you for this, I need to practice for a choir concert!!

Hey Lily ^-^ Im going to teach myself to play the violin soon ouo Could you tell me a good price range for a beginners violin please? ;u;

I remember year ago my uncle sang this but with a verse " my mother said if i would play with the gypsies in the wood" is this right or did he make it up ?

@EquineRose-Rosie-

I am guessing he made it up, as I have not seen any version of this song with that verse, nor do I see where that lyric could fit in, though I am curious which part of the song he put that lyric in, would you mind sharing that? However, there is a song called 'My Mother Said I never should' which has a lyric almost exactly like that, perhaps he had sung a bit of that? Here is that song if you wish to listen :D kzread.info/dash/bejne/laR1zbqneM_In7g.html

I was taught sheiling (being huts or collections of), round all the buildings it goes more sensibly with the next line of through the town, than a coin surely.

Scottish mountain huts where shepherds would live during summer whilst their animals grazed . Nowadays some can still be found as "bothies" where hikers can take shelter or spend the night whilst walking in the Scottish Highlands

Shieling (Scottish Gaelic: àirigh), also spelt sheiling, shealing & sheeling, is a collection of huts, common in the hills and mountains of Scotland and northern England. A shilling is English currency, I should know I am English LOL

It is often sung by the Irish folk groups, the "Chieftans" sang it and then did it with Van Hallen, not my favourite rendition. But then a lot of the Irish songs are sung by Scottish groups. But it is originally form the Hebrides. It was translated by Sir Hugh Roberton into English form Scottish gaelic. It is a beautiful song none the less

FCMB Phoenix 15, it's actually Gaelic but it IS from Scotland. True fact.
