No, it's the one that goes "Behold I am a soldier bold, and only twenty five years old." The version I have is from a commercial tape called "25 Scottish Favorites" which I've never been able to find despite due dilligence (I copied it from a public library tape). The tape featured a lot of Ewan MacColl/Peggy Seeger and most of the other performers (particularly the singer of "Jock MacGraw") were amateurs or at least the recordings were quite primitive but still great stuff.
