Here is another Scottish tune that most everyone will be familiar with but perhaps not sad lyrics.

Lyrics to "Loch Lomond"

By yon bonnie banks, and by yon bonnie braes

Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond

There me and my true love spent mony happy days

On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.

Chorus

Oh, ye'll tak' the high road, and I'll tak' the low road

And I'll be in Scotland before ye

But trouble it is there, and mony hearts are sair

On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.

Verse Two

'Twas there that we parted in yon bonnie glen

On the steep, steep side o' Ben Lomond

Where in purple hue the Highland hills we view

And the moon glints out in the gloamin'.

Verse Three

There the wild flowers spring and the wee birdies sing

And in sunshine the waters are sleepin'

But the broken heart it kens nae second spring again

Though resigned we may be while we're greetin'.

I am using a Charles J, Horner violin I call the RedHorse due to the red stain on the spruce. The reverb effect is called Live Performance and is a Garageband product. The mic is an Audio-Technica AT2020

Lovely, haunting tune, nice performance. I always remember this tune as played by the Benny Goodman band. Goodman swung it, of course, and left out the sad lyrics, but either way it's a fine piece. Love the reverb effect here.
