It is a love song, Scottish in origin and is one of the few Bill sang unaccompanied. |

Depressed that the numpties on their are presenting such a poor and distastefull image of Folk and Traditional music and Scotland. This is not the musical world that I am living in, enjoy and try to further and expand. Thankfully they don't appear to have any forthcoming bookings, let's keep it that way. |
