Summary
This is a piece of mouth music in the rhythm of a reel. The chorus is about black-haired Donald who tends goats, and who will be found among the heather. The first verse says that the composer likes the fiddler who plays his fiddle sweetly. The second says that there is a hole in the fiddler's trousers. Perhaps there are three.
Item Notes
The song has a chorus and two verses. The chorus is sung between them.
