Roud 376
Written by G W Persley towards the end of the 19th century, this song turns up regularly in country singers' repertoires throughout Britain, even into the 1980s. Gavin Greig described it as being “Very popular in Aberdeenshire in the early years of this century”, and it has been collected in Ireland, North Carolina, Australia and Tristan da Cunha.
