Arthur Cormack and Ishbel MacAskill's versions of this song are the two best versions I have ever heard.

Ishbel's version ends with a sad verse. Arthur's ending verse is a lot more hopeful. The first two lines of it go - Although we are not wed, I am hopeful that we will be.

Check out both versions if you like.
