My wife Astrid and I got to meet him, that year, and hear him play his magic, when he came to the USA, on this tour, and it was one of the best moments of my wife's life, in our 37 years together....not long before she passed away to the Spirit World...from cancer...THANKS Jim, for giving her that beautiful night.......
How this beautiful song reminds me of David and Myrtle from Dunfermline, my Scottish guest parents who showed me the country of their ancestors in the 80s
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. I WONDER WHETHER MR. MALCOLM IS PLAYING THIS IN DADGAD OR ANOTHER OPEN TUNING. THIS WAS A SOUND FOR SORE EARS - DELICATE AND EMOTIVE.
I would really need the English british translation of this lyric. I speak Spanish and there's no translator for these (I consider) old words of English. Thanks.
A 'border ballad' based perhaps on at least one famous incident in the 1500s where a Scots lord was taken during a raid (reive) on the English side of the border. He bambozzles the very young daughter of his captor and she arranges his escape back to Scotland providing she goes along and marries him. Once safe away, the Scot (Jock) sends her packing back to her father who, folklore suggests, is remarkably forgiving of her naivety. He'd have been looking forward to a large ransome.

Wonderful song sang with a wonderfully warm voice!
One of the finest renditions I've ever heard!
I love this song, thank you mr Jim, you realy can create magical celtic atmosphere!!!
Absolutely beautiful, brought a lump to my throat.
played and sung to perfection. I am English, but this song can only be sung by a Scot!
But "Scottish" is a state of mind ;-)
Too right....a songs a song.... feel it and sing it for yourself.
Beautiful, fantastic voice, envious.
This is stunning
I've been listening to this for years. Thank you for this blessing!
thank you very much for the song:) i listen to it a lot
a beautiful melody, also a very popular song very well done!
Love this!
Has anyone heard Gary Lightbodys version of Jock O'Hazeldein? I'd recommend it. It's sublime.

Jim usually plays in DADGAD so I would guess that's what this is. Beautiful, isn't it.
Excellence 🎸 😃 🎤

It's DADGAD - great tuning for Scottish folk song.

No, that's the story of Fairflower of Northumberland.
Pristine
