Wild Mountain Thyme
"Wild Mountain Thyme" (also known as "Purple Heather" and "Will Ye Go, Lassie, Go?") is a Scottish/Irish folk song. 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. Tannahill's original song, first published in Robert Archibald Smith's ''Scottish Minstrel'' (1821–24), is about the hills (''braes'') around Balquhidder near Lochearnhead.

History The existing tune of "Wild Mountain Thyme" is significantly different from Tannahill's "The Braes of Balquhither", which was most likely based on a traditional air.

Farewell, Angelina (song)

Inspiration According to Bob Dylan: ''All the Songs'', an 1850s Scottish sailors' song by George Scroggie titled '' Farewell to Tarwathie'' provided the skeleton of the song's melody. That song, in turn, had been inspired by the old traditional tune, Wagoner's Lad.
