Lock the Door Lariston

Notes: This song is often played jauntily and used as a
representatively Scottish tune
particularly in
films and computer games (Lemmings 2 for example)
It deserves better. The song is a lament for a lost love

killed in battle. He will now take the "high road" (in
heaven) while Moira (his love) stays on the "low road."
They will never meet again in this life
but they will
some day meet again
far above the bonnie banks of Loch lomond.

O wither away my bonnie May
