Appropriate name Nerd, I've been researching old folk songs for decades and it is absolutely incredible how the Scots falsely claim the root of so many, even the venerable Bard Robert Burns plagiarised John Barleycorn, so how anyone can believe that this is Scottish is beyond belief, also there are suggestions that Scarborough Fair originated in Scotland, Good Grief is nothing sacred, long live English folk and God Bless Norma Waterson so good to see you back on the folk.
