About the Folk Song
This well-known song was once a common way to end gatherings in Scotland and Ireland before Auld Lang Syne became popular. Its words offer friendship, gratitude, and blessing at parting. The tune’s steady pace and gentle phrasing create a mood of warmth and reflection. It remains a favourite closing song at concerts and celebrations around the world.
