I am Alan Ross My comment was that the Vatersay Boys had sod all to do with the writing of the song or lyrics, and that you should not have credited them when you reproduced the lyric. It is a Hylo Brown lyric..not a Vatersay Boys one. You just don't get that artists covering modern copyright songs are not the ones to be credited with writing or arranging them on Mudcat. Perhaps put performed or recorded by, unless they actually did provably write the song. Otherwise you are interfering with historical truth, and undoing the work of others to use this site as an added source of information on the origins of songs. I don't get why you needed to interfere, when the Hylo Brown lyric was already up? As I say the Vatersay Boys had nothing whatsoever to do with the writing of it, they just covered it.
