There were many editions of the Rebel Ceilidh Songbook, the last one about 1967, and each time the editor and begetter Morris Blythman, who wrote under the pseudonym Thurso Berwick, put in new songs. He got people to write new songs for each issue. I was given a full set of RCSs by Morris's widow. Morris taught me at school in Glasgow, and began my interest in Scots song. The song was on an early 60s Folkways album called Ding Dong Dollar. Hamish Imlach recorded it early on, I think. And the other week I met in West Lothian, the man who drew the original cover - as Murray says about 1953. Initially the book was a product of the Bo'ness Rebels pro-independence group.
