It wis a sad day when we lost Joe, I've kint him a lang time and wis at his funeral yesterday, man it wis grand tae see saymony folk there the Kirk wis full tae the gunnels and the yellow wis on the broom, weel the whin bushes onywye, safe journey Joe.
Gone yersel Ian, you've done it again, another winner. I ken Joe "the man frae Kirrie. Now I will just wait and see what you give us next. First Class!!
This scaldie loves this song. Ed Miller and Jean Redpath have great versions, In Latin the broom is called "plantagenet"...."yellow plant". The Plamtagenet kings of England were called thus because they wore sprigs of broom in their hats.
One of the finest renditions of this classic Old ballad. Joe is the top ballad singer.
