Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
in Gaelic "Chi mi na mor-bheanna" (literally "I will see the
great mountains"), it is a Scottish slow air which sounds
wonderful on the pipes. The tune was a favorite of King George VI
and was played at his funeral, and it was similarly played as a
lament for President John F. Kennedy’s funeral. The original
Gaelic words were written in 1856 by John Cameron of Ballachulish,
Scotland.
I don't remember when I first heard this, probably for a funeral,
but I know it was played on Highland pipes. I looked up the print
version later.
