Gorgeous song written by a man of my mum's county of Angus. Just magnificent and wee Dick sings it greatly too.

Country / folk music isn't really my thing but BBC Four has been showing a documentary called Country Music by Ken Burns (the guy who made the fantastic series about the US Civil War) and I'm finding it fascinating.
The next episode is on Friday at 21:30

Cheers, Shedders I'll keep an eye. Burns has some interesting stuff, especially his Civil War stuff (and I think I watched a Henry Ford doc by him).
This next song about Bonnie Prince Charlie sang both in Scotland and Ireland, although I find some of the choir/dare I say ''women'' versions of it a bit too much.
The best version is from Iarla O Lionaird and Ailean MacDomhnall - Irish and Scottish (can you guess haha) but I cannot find a version of it.
So here's Iarla
And not to get all teuchter or as the Irish say (Culchie) but my ancestors on my Island side were on the Jacobite side (Yes, that's like an American saying he's Irish) but tracing the tree and reading about who did what, makes me appreciate this song even more!

The first song is one I remember my mother (trying) to sing to me and my wee sister way back then when we were weans.
The last song is the first song I actually ever learnt - like every other kid in Belfast back then - I made sure it was the first song my daughter ever learnt too. It also has the "My Aunt Jane" lyrics.
Love it, especially that ending and the comment ''Now that's what I call cross-community''

Re: Folk/Americana/Celtic/English/music get in here...
There's a band from the Western Isles who are pretty big in the trad/folk circles just now, won a couple of Trads (Scottish Traditional Music Awards) and they are aiming for number one with their version of the Fairytale of Stornoway this time. They are alright, but I don't know, they are a bit gimmicky - come on stage in boiler suits etc, but folk who like folk seem to love them.
Cannae find a link, but there's a band called Docsa who do a great cover of this song. The original is very nice too, but here it is. I feel like a DJ doing that
