I always liked this old Scottish folk song. It's been recorded by so many people over the years.
This one caught me by surprise. I hadn't heard anything Karla Bonoff for decades.
Sean McCue plays a sweet little solo beginning at 1:54.

I recalled hearing a version of that from KB from her album long ago and really enjoyed it.

While scanning my hard drive for it, I stumbled on Eva Cassidy's version which I'll offer. She takes a few more liberties with the melody but with such a sweet pure voice I don't mind
