Looking for the original lyrics to this song. There are a few versions kicking around but I do not have a clue which is right.

masato sakurai: Thank You for that. Looks like they wrestled with the same misinformation as I am but I found some of what I was looking for there. Think I can take it from here.
Cheers!

Jim I have Shirley and Larry Peterson (Shetland father and daughter) singing it on a 45 but i cant find anyone to transfer it to a medium i can listen to at the moment.

Megan: I have Robin Hall & Jimmie MacGregor plus some "Interesting" liner notes. Note sure how accurate they are but it's enough to get by on.
Thanks.
Jim

I'd be interested in whether anyone knows for sure.... is it "Bairn" or "Ben"?
Both make perfect sense although I am leaning towards "Bairn" for a couple of reasons.
