A very old song originating from Scotland and collected in the Child Ballads, this one seems to date to the 1700s.
A maiden is to be hanged and one by one her father, mother and brother approach. She thinks they are there to pay her freedom but it’s not until her true love arrives that it happens. Aww.
Sooooo many different variations of tune and words with this one.
