Willie o' Winsbury

Scad the Beggars singer Riley, singing Willie o' Winsbury at their weekly session in the Diamond Bar, Ballymoney. We hadn't heard Riley sing this old Scottish Ballad before, so we just picked it up as it went along ... the Traditional "By Ear" method. 

Willie O Winsbury is Child Ballad #100, existing in several variants. It is a traditional Scottish ballad that dates from at least 1775.
