Episode 117 “Irish Songs & Will You Go, Lassie Go & The Rest of the Story.”

“Will You 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 and Scottish composer Robert Archibald Smith. It was adapted by Belfast, Ireland musician Francis McPeake into "Will You Go, Lassie Go” and first recorded by McPeake’s nephew in 1957. So while its roots are in Scotland, the song is widely considered an Irish-Scottish folk tune.
