[edit] Moved from article

I've moved the following text from the article:

As a descendant of the Douglas Erskine marriage aforementioned, I can say that it is doubtful that this ballad tells a story of the affair. Originally entitled "O Waly, Waly", the ballad's author remains unknown,no one really knows when, to the best of my knowledge. Contemplator.com states it was published in 1724. The tune "Lord Jamie Douglas", which would refer to the Douglas Erskine marriage did not come along until 1776, with the instruction that it be sung to the tune of "O Waly Waly" (see www.contemplator.com).

[edit] Linda, Linda, Linda.

This song is also song in the move Linda, Linda, Linda, by the injured drummer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.76.243.131 (talk) 10:01, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
