Summary

A woman's love song. A girl tells of the dark-haired young man who came to the district the previous evening. Her stride is heavy since she was forsaken by her sweetheart.

Item Notes

Though it is widely published that this song was composed by Elizabeth Ross (Lady D' Oyly), the Elizabeth Ross manuscript in the School of Scottish Studies names the composer as 'Lady Rasay'. This could refer to Elizabeth's aunt, or more probably, an earlier Lady Raasay.
