Summary

For the old-time Tune of the Week, 8/22/14. The lyrics are quite moving, telling of the real Jamie MacPherson of Scotland (1675 - 1700) who played a fiddle tune before being hung, who smashed his fiddle, and who would have been pardoned if someone hadn&#39t moved the clock up by fifteen minutes. I like the part of the chorus which says, &#34He played a tune and danced it roon.&#34 Here&#39s a link to the thread: http://www.banjohangout.org/topic/290158
