Having mostly heard her guitar playing I had no idea Lindsay's voice was so beautiful...very inspiring.

Ok, really really nice. What a masterclass of relaxed but engaging flatpicking in a great drop-D tuning. Graceful and poignant — way to go, Lindsay! (New fan after hearing a Carters guitar demo featuring your great finger styling).

Now that is a very fine song and well done. Some say it started with a poem by Robert Burns. But who knows where ~he~ got it... and the dollar - started out as a Dutch coin, or so I've heard

[ChuckDeFuque]

I love your version; I do believe the Silly Sisters are in danger of being knocked off the pedestal I have them on!

[daydays]

You are a revelation! such beautiful singing of the great traditional songs. Thank you so much :-)

[rookspellman]

Just discovered you from carter's guitar channel! Absolutely love your playing (and your singing too)! Inspires me to pick up my guitar and play

[Wotsitorlabart]

Likley that the song is actually English in origin.
Earliest known version is an English broadside of 1672-1696 called 'The Life and Death of George of Oxford'.
The Scottish versions were first published at least a hundred years later.
