A collection of popular ballads and songs on a variety of themes, including: a young soldier dreams of dancing with his betrothed and being killed in battle; a song about the hijinks that ensue one evening when a young man is convinced to spend all his money on alcohol; a description of the beauty of the lassies of Scotland, Ireland, Britain, all of which are eclipsed by the beauty of Jennie of the Moor; a musician describes the beauty of meeting his love at night on the banks of the Mozelle; an ode and farewell to the beauty of the singer’s native landscape; a call to unite and avenge the persecution of the Clan MacGregor; and a song reminiscing on the merry singing, drinking, storytelling, and celebration of Christmases past.
