"The Work of The Weavers"
A traditional Scottish song
sung and played by Patricia L. Cummings
An Iris quilt mini made by Patricia Cummings from a photo by James Cummings
Listen closely to the words:
"to crack" = to chat"
"claith" = cloth
"mak" = make
"ken" = know
"woo" = wool
Update on 9/14/07 - Thanks to Ursula from Dundee, Scotland for providing a better translation of the word, "ken."
The CD, "Folkmusic from Scotland," shown on the right side scroll bar, is the only music CD I found on amazon with this song.
