about
Gian Castello's instrumental version and arrangement of a Scottish song. Notes from www.electricscotland.com: "The song is well known in Scotland, and the tune was indeed taken by Burns for 'Ye Jacobites by Name.' Balfour says that there was a local tradition that it was originally composed by Colonel Thomas Traill of Holland, in Papa Westray, who went to join the forces of Gustavus Adolphus in Germany about the year 1630. Certainly the words seem to fit the departure of a soldier for the Thirty Years War. Sweden in the 17th century offered military and commercial opportunities to Scots; Orkney had had a run of bad harvests in the years between 1623 and 1636, and indeed the scale of Orcadian emigration can be seen in the figure quoted by Hugh Marwick of 78 Orcadians who between 1613 and 1650 became citizens of the Norwegian town of Bergen."
lyrics
Oh, my love's in Germany, Send him hame, send him hame,
Oh, my love's in Germany, Send him hame.
Oh, my love's in Germany,
Lang leagues 0' land and sea
Frae Westrey and frae me, Send him hame, send him hame.
Oh, my love's in Germany, Send him hame.
Oh, weary fa' the war, Send him hame, send him hame,
That tysed my love sae rar, Send him hame.
Oh, were he hame again,
How blythe we'd be and rain,
But he's rar ayont the main, Send him hame, send him hame.
Oh, my love's in Germany, Send him hame.
Oh, wad some birdie say, Send him hame, send him hame,
To my sodger far away, Send him hame.
How lonely sighs his May,
Conntin' year and month and day,
For oh! her heart is wae, Send him hame, send him hame.
Oh, my love's in Germany, Send him hame.
