“My Love’s in Germany“ (My Luve's in Germanie) is a poem written by Scottish poet Hector Macneill. It was first printed in 1794 and is the lament of a Scottish woman (Jeannie) for her lover. (Willie) The song was re-published in 1885 by Colonel David Balfour as an Orkney melody composed by Colonel Thomas Traill around 1630. Traill (from Holland Farm, that is “the farm on the high land“, in Papa Westray), was a soldier in the army of Gustavus Adolphus, also known as Germany Thomas, during the Thirty Years' War. The tune was later used by Robert Burns for his song “Ye Jacobites by Name“. German folk-rock band D' Artagnan covered the song in 2022, together with Zora Cock from Blackbriar. D' ARTAGNAN Ben Metzner (also in Feuerschwanz) – Leadvocals, Bagpipe, Flutes Tim Bernard – Vocals, Guitar Felix Fischer – Vocals, Guiar, Bass The song is about a young maiden praying her love returns safe from Germany where he is is fighting for the monarchy, but takes her own life after his passing.
