HG - it's always sensible to check the Digitrad and Forum Search (above the thread list) first. Billy's song was posted by Jon Freeman and harvested (viz. the ^^ at the end of the post) in
this thread.

If you stay with us and like to contribute more of your knowledge (please do!) it might be best to read the 'Mudcat FAQ' at the top of the thread list first. It can save a lot of work!

Anyway, I'm glad this song is so popular. The only thing - in both Jon's and your versions the last word in the last verse is not spelled quite right. It's 'weans' - Scottish for children. (Correct, Little John Cameron?)
