About the Folk Song

This cheerful Scottish song dates to the 1700s and is known for its nonsense imagery and catchy chorus. It has long been sung in schools and community settings across Scotland and beyond.

Its light rhythm and simple structure make it easy to learn and pass on, which is why so many versions exist in oral tradition.
