Many people might be surprised to know that I first heard this song sung by the late Michael Marra [ RIP ], and a fine job he made of it too. I've always liked it ever since. Before writing his own songs and playing mainly piano, Michael used to sing and play guitar in a duo with another fine gentleman from Dundee by the name of Gus Foy, alas, also sadly no longer with us. They appeared several times at the Blairgowrie Folk Club, in the early 1970s.
