Songs from Old Plum Grove

Songs from Old Plum Grove takes its name from a settlement that once existed west of LaGrange, Texas all that remains now is a cemetery. It was here that some of my maternal ancestors the Scallorns, McClures and Youngs, all of Scottish heritage settled in the early 19th century. Allowing some poetic license, I have imagined that the two songs that form this set, "Ye banks and braes" and "Skip to my Lou," were sung in that community. David Ashley White
