Thread Name: Origins: The Rambling Siuler
Subject: RE: Origins: The Rambling Siuler
Jonathan, 'The Rambling Suiler' Roud 7972, only seems to be known from the Sam Henry version which was adapted by Andy Irvine.
See Songs of the People, Huntington, p268
    Aiming for the Heart, Irvine, p32.

Without checking closely the note I have written down with my song notes is 'Similar story to 'The Gaberlunzie Man', said to be the original of 'The Rambling Soldier' which in turn gave rise to 'The Rambling Sailor' and various other 'Ramblings'.
