MacColl sings the original words on his 1960 Folk-Lyric LP "A Garland of Scots Folksong," which is back in print through the good offices of Dick Greenhaus at CAMSCO Music.

This is an important album in that some of the songs are sung by MacColl's mother, Betsy Miller, whose status as a trad singer has never been impugned.

As suggested above, MacColl's performance was the direct or indirect inspiration behind all others since.
