The words of "Robin Adair" itself are understood to be by Lady Caroline Keppel, who was in love with a surgeon by that name. (This seems more likely than the theory that Robert Burns wrote it, although Burns certainly knew Keppel's lyrics and made his own parodies upon the words). Some later versions of the melody contain "Scotch snaps" but this version follows the simplest melodic line, without the Scotch snaps - possibly O'Daly's original tune? - and with quite romantic choral harmonies.  less

My love is far from here I sense in my dreams that she's dreaming of me far off in that country dreaming that we shall once more sing our old song We'll sing in harmony longing for the day when harmony can soothe our sorrows and make us smile to think that harmony can soother our sorrows dreams far off.
