I have loved this song for years & years. Every chord, wherever her voice goes, however her fingers works the strings - I am absolutely comforted within. And what's more, I always smile.
So, hey, everyone: I love this song!

@johnnymckiernan .. johnny yer not wrong ..it was rewritten by mc peake....origins def in scotland...but our music and theres is very much the same...typical song is the Curragh of Kildare considered irish but writen in Scotland about a british soldier serving in the Curragh Camp ,a british Army Stronghold in county Kildare till a couple of decades ago!!

@johnnymckiernan It is an Irish version of a much older Scottish song. Braes of Balquhidder. The tunes are kind of similar but not the same which could just be folk process through time. The words are lifted almost verbatim from the Scottish song though!

@AlexandraB1956 This is not a Scottish song.It is Irish composed by Francie Mc Peake ,Belfast

@AlexandraB1956 it's also funny that Joan Baez' mom is Scottish! Born in Edinburgh.

It's funny, that ... she's got the better voice, yet the version of The Corries sounds somehow much better. Is it because it is a Scottish song and so The Corries have it more in their blood...

It is from Farewell, Angelina, and is one of the most beautiful recordings I have ever heard. This is great music!

I love Joan Baez and 99% of her music. However this just plain sucks for lack of a better word.
