This traditional folk ballad, catalogued as Roud 3103, is a classic tune with roots in the Appalachian Mountains of the United States, though it is believed to have originated in Scotland based on references within its lyrics to the River Clyde. American musicologist Alan Lomax endorsed the Scottish origin theory, characterizing the song as an American adaptation of British source material.
