“ There lives a young lassie. [This song, so favourably known to the public through the singing of Mr. Templeton and other eminent vocalists, is the production of John Imlah. It first appeared, about fifteen years ago, in a collection of pieces by him, entitled, "May Flowers. Poems and Songs, some in the Scottish Dialect." The music is by Joseph de Pinna.] ”
