Lucy's Flittin'.Lucy's Flittin' was a traditional Scottish ballad which related the tale of Lucy leaving her home and her love, Jamie. It was popularised by Robert Ford, who included it in his 'Vagabond Songs and Ballads of Scotland' published in 1899. This painting certainly predates that publication - as its first owner, Alexander Macdonald, died in 1884.
