..Aye, and NEVER bend a knee
Scot-Irish ancestors here, although I kind of resent the Irish part:). We were never Irish, we only hid out there for a while to escape the frickin’ redcoats. The over mountain men fought the hardest during the revolution and we still carry that tradition with us(ever heard of Kings Mountain? and up yours Ferguson).
Music is one of our traditions, some of the oldest and best folk songs came from the Scot-Irish hill billys(odious term), in fact a movie was made about that very thing but I forget the name of it.
“In Scarlet town where I was born
There lived a fair maid dwellin’
and every youth cried well aday,
for her name was Barbara Allen”
Just one of the many folk songs brought over to the US by the Scot-Irish, intelligent people with an innate sense of freedom for the individual embedded deep inside them, and it resides there still.
