It has been popular with a number of singers in Scotland, including the late Maggie Cruickshank who used to sing it in our local sessions. I was also at a session in the Borders close to last Christmas, where Peter Parlane sang it: thanks to the annual Paper and Comb championships at Stonehaven Folk Festival, I just happened to have with me in my gig bag a piece of old-fashioned toilet paper and comb,so was able to accompany the final chorus appropriately!
