Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Vagabond Songs and Ballads of Scotland: With Many Old and Familiar Melodies The preface to the first series of this work might well be allowed to stand as the Preface to the second also, were it not that some may see the one volume who have not seen the other, and that I feel it my duty to thank in this place the numerous correspondents all over the country who have help so freely, albeith, now and again, at any cost of much personal trouble, to render the collection as representative and efficient as I hope my never unkind critics will acknowledge it to be. Here again, as in the preceding volume, issued exactly two years ago, will be found not less than half-a-hundred blads of lyric verse, which, though familiar in every country bothy, in every country cottage, and regularly sung at markets and fairs all over Scotland from thirty to sixty years ago, and learned in part many of them from hearsay by persons still "to the fore," have yet seldom appeared in print, but till now have been ignored by, or have escaped the vigilance of, the song-collectors. These Vagabond Pieces - poor as poetry often admittedly - I esteem of no small value. As a species of folk-lore, even the rudest of them are eminently deserving of rescue.
