Summary
A waulking song/woman's love song. A woman is sad that the man she loves went past her on a horse without acknowledging her. She then goes on to praise Clan MacDonald.
Preceded by a discussion about the song. The contributor saw waulking when he was young. The women would accompany the work with singing. There were weavers in the area also; there are none now [1971]. He got the words of the song from a book which came from Antigonish. The tune was local.
