GUEST,Anonymous Lyr ADD: Farewell My Love (Scottish) (18) RE: Lyr ADD: Farewell My Love (Scottish) 29 Jan 23

Thanks! I notice that Peter Mallan's version (first recorded in 1981 I think) is much closer to McBennett's than to Gillies' interpretation. The rhythm is more similar and he sings ‘You leave me’ instead of ‘I leave you’ like Gillies. So I wonder... was Gillies' interpretation particularly free or did Mallan get acquainted with the song via McBennet's performance?
