Hello, Cameron Cuzzins! I went to
www.google.com and found the
following and just a 'zillion' other websites. I just don't have the
time nor patience to read thru them all - hope you do. If you find the
ballad in poetry form, please share with List...my curiosity is now just
about unlimited, but as I say, just have not the time.
There is even one site [forget just what it is now] that I believe you
can listen/downgrade words & music to various tunes - FREE to listen;
don't know about copying for personal use.
Suggest you use
www.google.com or another good one -
www.dogpile.com
Just plug in : Lyrics and Music of the Battle of Culloden....something
like that.
