Korson collected an American 6-stanza version of this beaut song in the Pennsylvanian coalfields and published it in his 'Minstrels of the Mine Patch' under the title 'She Loves Her Miner Lad'. A fine recording of it may be found on Men of the Deeps 'Coal Fire in Winter' Men of the Deeps Music CD 02 506600. A significant difference in the American version is that it is from a third-person perspective: 'Bonnie's her lad', 'We'll build him a castle' etc.

I think the Ian Campbell Folk Group also recorded a Scots-flavoured version.
