I learned this song at Hermitage Park School in Edinburgh - it must have been in 1951 or 1952 from my teacher, a Miss Smith. She taught us a lot of fine traditional Scots songs, many of which I am sure were not widely available in print or recording at the time. I think that she could have been involved in some of the first manifestations of the folk revival. The People's Ceilidh 1951 in Edinburgh is widely quoted as being one of the sparks that lit the folk revival.
