Scottish song associated with Clan Campbell. The song was definitely extant by 1745 and perhaps much earlier. It is commonly attributed to Robert Burns, like many Scottish songs which are actually traditional or of unknown origin. Burns did write a version with some different verses, which he published in the Scots Musical Museum, a collection of Scottish folk songs (and some new songs) published between 1787 and 1803.
