    Sadly Bill Caddick died last month ( 1944- 2018). We will miss chatting to him at The Boat Inn, Jackfield. Condolences to Katherine and sons Tam and Christy.

      I'm afraid that's not possible. This was broadcast by the Scottish STV channel in 1985. The whole programme and others from the series have been posted by STV themselves elsewhere on RUclips. Search for "The Corries and Other Folk".

    A local friend of the family sung this at my Uncles graveside. This song holds a place in my heart. Very touching.

      Jimzee, I can’t agree with you more! I don’t want to die before I get to hear Christy live! Let’s get this awful Covid under control and please God, my dream will come true!

    Thank you for posting this. I suddenly remembered this song and how much I loved it, but I couldn't remember much more than the title and a scrap of the tune, at the end of the chorus. I asked Google, and this blessed performance was one of the first hits, if not THE first.
