about

‘Illiam Boght’ or ‘Cur uss jeed’ was reconstructed by Colin Jerry and published in Kiaull yn Theay 2 from v6 and part of v9 collected by Dr John Clague from Mrs Kennaugh.
As Annie Gilchrist mentions in the Journal of the Folk Song Society (1926), the song is a version of ‘The Outlandish Knight’ upon which Jerry’s translation is based. Instead of being the seventh woman drowned by Illiam, Kirree outwits him and the seventh drowned in the river is he himself.
Aalin sings the words to a new tune that she composed.

This was originally released as a CD in 2012 by Culture Vannin
