Re that song you posted - I hadn't known its history, but I saw people responding on YouTube post about it. And this is what Wikipedia says:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bonnie_Banks_o%27_Loch_Lomond
Another common interpretation is that the chorus are the final words spoken by one of the Jacobite rebels prior to his execution, perhaps in Carlisle where dozens of rebels were executed.[7][8]: 276 He sees his lover at the gallows and tells her they will meet again in Scotland, albeit by different routes.[9] Ironically, the song became one of a handful of folk signifiers for British unity as the nation expanded its empire.[10]
One of the earliest sheet music printings of the ballad was in 1840 by Paterson and Sons in Edinburgh. It was titled "Bonnie Loch Loman" and credited to "a lady" with arrangements by Finlay Dunn and John Thomson. Lady John Scott was often cited as the composer of "Loch Lomond", but she only transcribed the melody and lyrics after hearing it sung by a boy in the Edinburgh streets.[11] In his 1898 novel Wild Eelin, William Black has the title character, Eelin MacDonald, directly refute the idea that a street urchin in Edinburgh would ever sing the song, dismissing it as "spurious".[12]: 867
The actual composer is unknown. Precedents for the tune have been found in several other folk songs, such as the Danish/Faroese tune "Dankonning lod gribe en havfrue fin" (The Dane-King Captured a Mermaid).[13] "Loch Lomond" along with "The Oak and the Ash" also bear a resemblance to "Godesses", a tune in John Playford's 1651 compilation The Dancing Master.[14][15]

(11,850 posts)A few fun facts:
Since it's early morning I can recognize a few songs but I'm only beginning my caffeine intake.
I was going to submit the song Yellow Submarine for a Lounge response some time back and I forgot the name of the song. *sigh*
Eddie Money is one of my favorite male singers.
I can't listen to the song Margaritaville while I'm driving at all because it makes me feel intoxicated.
One of my favorites songs is Down in Mexico and is never given credit, ever.
Good morning everyone!
