“Moorlough Maggie”
Description
Singer owns sheep, cattle, and ships at sea. He offers each to Moorlough Maggie if she will go with him. She rejects each offer: "Tae gie consent, love, I darna gie Tae herd your sheep high in yon heathery hills"
Notes
I have to suspect this is a fragment of something like "Lizie Lindsay." - RBW
