Summary
The contributor sings 'Mac Òg an Iarla Ruaidh' which was sometimes used for waulking. The composer states that she will never willingly take the son of the red-haired earl till some very unlikely things have happened, e.g. the swan making a nest on the waves. At the end of the song, we learn that Mary is now married to him.
