Great adaptation.Thank you for uploading. Quite the history. The lyrics and melody are a variant of the song "The Braes of Balquhither" by Scottish poet Robert Tannahill (1774-1810) and Scottish composer Robert Archibald Smith (1780-1829), but were adapted by Belfast musician Francis McPeake (1885-1971) into "Wild Mountain Thyme" and first recorded by his family in the 1950s.[1] The original was written with the line 'if you do not go with me, I will never find another'. Very adaptable depending on. one's outlook.

Thanks!!! It's a great song. My ancestors are from Ireland. They emigrated to America in the late 1800s. I was born in America but now live in Germany. I can really relate to this song and the longing of being where one was born and raised.

Brian, well, nothing surprises me anymore. I JUST got around to looking at my email, completely overwhelmed. I have a 5 minute video of Tommy Makem on stage with Barley Bree and Cherish the Ladies. I listen to it so much as it does my soul good. Imagine my delight when I saw your response, while, listening to video right now!! Thank you, i plan on learning much from you! (OH, they are doing GO LASSIE GO. 5 minutes in Heaven. Cheers from Toronto, Canada!

Robert Burns wrote "Bonnie Lassie Will Ye Go" which is likely an early version of Wild Mountain Thyme.
@brother1ray3 жыл бұрын
Sorry, but it was a contemporary of Burns, Robert Tannahill from Paisley, (the Weaver Poet), who wrote these lyrics in the "Braes o' Ballquidder". Please look it up!

I'm fairly sure this is a scottish song, not Irish ( and I say that as an Irishman).
@WillieBeard9 жыл бұрын
And now it's an Irish song. I say that as a Scotsman.

PC Betts hmm That can't really be.. If it's Scottish then it's always Scottish whether or not it's played more by Irish musicians these days. (anyway you're not scottish, you're american).

It's a Scottish poem that was turned into a song by a northern Irish man. You can easily Google the history.
