Hi, i am wondering if anyone has heard of it? Its an old scottish song.

Thanks

There's one called "The Highland Tinker" , and if I was to quote more than the opening line of it ("Oh the lady of the manor was preparing for the ball") I would be banned from here for life! :evil

Not sure if this is the one you may be talking about. There is one called Nancy Myles by Johnny McEvoy

Its starts of with 'Nancy was a tinker girl who roamed the country roads and I will tell you......
