The Queen composed by John Hinton

John composed this tune as a commission by a local canal association. The Queen in question was one of the canal boats of yesteryear around Kirkintilloch. It can be played both as a slow air with a similar rhythm to Scots Wha' Hae, or as a song using the lyrics which were from a 1920s poem by an unknown author with the initials JGM.
