The Lea Rig (audio)

This is a lovely song and fiddle tune by Robert Burns. The words were written to the tune "My ain kind dearie, O" which James Oswald published in the Caledonian Pocket Companion.

Burns wrote the words to the air in 1792 borrowing some lines from the original old song. This lovely arrangement for piano and voice/ fiddle was written by Jean Nicolson.
