This tune for Mairi's Wedding was composed by John Bannerman (d.1938) to his own Gaelic text. The English words were written by Hugh Roberton (d.1952).

[@karenroberton3290]

This is exactly right It was written in Gaelic from the Hebrides. My husband is related to Hugh Roberton. he also translated the Mingulay Boat Song .

[@mrsratso]

That's my middle name given to me by my Scottish parents and while I still lived in Scotland. (Now a Canadian!) It is now the name of my fourth child...Mairi Rathy! Great Gaeilic name.

I am from Bangladesh I am a care worker my all of clients they used to sing this song that's why I come to learn this song🥰 If sing this song with them so I can make them happy

[@majordendrocopos]

The third line of the chorus is “Arm and arm and row and row”. Slightly puzzling but there it is.

[@sublicense18a13]

Should read "row in row" Similarly "shillings" should read "shielings" i.e. hamlet/village.

[@alexandercarder2281]

I nearly got launched 🚀 into the air and into the tables full of food at a ceilidh with this song by a big farmers wife 🤣😂🤣😂 She could dance 💃 I felt like a rag doll. This was at Quarriers village near Kilmacolm 2001-2 new year.

[@taylormaltman3411]

Is very good keep up the good work

[@sanchez16]

I remember year ago my uncle sang this but with a verse " my mother said if i would play with the gypsies in the wood" is this right or did he make it up ?

[@EquineRose-Rosie-]

I am guessing he made it up, as I have not seen any version of this song with that verse, nor do I see where that lyric could fit in, though I am curious which part of the song he put that lyric in, would you mind sharing that? However, there is a song called 'My Mother Said I never should' which has a lyric almost exactly like that, perhaps he had sung a bit of that? Here is that song if you wish to listen :D kzbin.info/www/bejne/maGknIukfdGVpbc

[@sanchez16]

@@EquineRose-Rosie- thanks for clearing this up, I reckon he probably sang this song and I've incorrectly set it to the wrong tune,I probably will continue to sing it incorrectly but it's good memories, thank you for setting me right x

[@RyansVedicAstrology]

sheiling not shilling. Mhairi.

[@EquineRose-Rosie-]

Sorry, I probably had different references than you :P Thanks for the information though uwu

[@EquineRose-Rosie-]

Thats what I thought XD I wonder where they got sheiling from o.o

[@fpaterson3290]

I was taught sheiling (being huts or collections of), round all the buildings it goes more sensibly with the next line of through the town, than a coin surely.

[@EquineRose-Rosie-]

Ohh thats realy cool :0 Thank you for the information ^-^

[@cecircinn2908]

Scottish mountain huts where shepherds would live during summer whilst their animals grazed . Nowadays some can still be found as "bothies" where hikers can take shelter or spend the night whilst walking in the Scottish Highlands

[@drizzy8450]

[@EquineRose-Rosie-]

Sorry, who are these?

[@r.fantom]

Hmmmm as i know thats Irish song xD

[@karenroberton3290]

It is often sung by the Irish folk groups, the "Chieftans" sang it and then did it with Van Hallen, not my favourite rendition. But then a lot of the Irish songs are sung by Scottish groups. But it is originally form the Hebrides. It was translated by Sir Hugh Roberton into English form Scottish gaelic. It is a beautiful song none the less

[@marilyns8497]

FCMB Phoenix 15, it's actually Gaelic but it IS from Scotland. True fact.

[@nenadmitic2975]

Orthodox celts have much better version. You have to hear it

[@EquineRose-Rosie-]

Orthodox Celts is the best

[@karenroberton3290]

Shieling (Scottish Gaelic: àirigh), also spelt sheiling, shealing & sheeling, is a collection of huts, common in the hills and mountains of Scotland and northern England. A shilling is English currency, I should know I am English LOL

[@karenroberton3290]

Rhanah is Orthodox Celts a group?

[@EquineRose-Rosie-]

Orthodox Celts is a Serbian band, they do Celtic rock. Their music is really good!
