"Islay Reaper" - In old Scotland the women of the hebredis worked long days. As they worked they sang songs to pass the time and to steady the pace of their work. This song is sung by a woman (Gaelic) harvesting grain. She sings about her work and that if she were to cut her hand that she would sit up on the hill and look out over all the fields as she rested. Perhaps she might see the brown curly haired boy.
