what is that scotish tune? that did-i-lie-day one?

@theuc The chorus is "round and round, Ol' Joe Clark" so you got the right song, but it's an arrangement I've never heard before.
That's not surprising, though. Most folk songs don't have much more than a general melody line, so the sound of it changes with every performer. Nothing was actually written down back then. It would be fun to trace it back to it's origins.

What's the song they sing in the end? Sounds like some alternate version of old joe clark.
