No problem. It is a popular wee song in Scotland and Ireland - Jacobite in origin.

Here are some nice versions:

It was Roisin Chambers who I probably first heard sing it. Wonderful voice. Can't find a version of her singing it online so this will have to do:

Speaking of it, The Silver Spear is basically a reel version of the air. So was the air at one time reelified or vice versa?
