The Keel Row (audio)

This was a popular bridal tune in Scotland in the past. The song lyric origins are from Jacobite times and collected by Hogg from Cromek’s Remains of Nithsdale and Galloway songs, but the tune may be earlier. It is thought it may originally have been the song from which Weel may the Boatie Rows developed.
