The tune, "The Green Hills of Tyrol", is a well-known melody in the Scottish bagpipe tradition and was transcribed by John MacLeod during the Crimean War from "La Tua Danza Sì Leggiera", a chorus part in the third act of Gioachino Rossini's 1829 opera Guglielmo Tell (William Tell). Rossini reportedly adapted that tune from Alpine folk music.

Incidentally the song was also the entrance theme of professional wrestler "Rowdy" Roddy Piper.
