    An early Scottish protest song about an impoverished highland noble who is to be hanged for killing deer in their local forst to feed his family. This version was learned by Acie Cargill from his grandmother, noted Kentucky ballad singer Hattie Mae Tyler Cargill. The Tylers were known for preserving old music, tunings, and instrumental styles. Elma Tuomisalo here presents an excellent moving rendition of this old ballad. She is backed by Acie and also the Stones in Shoes Band. The effect may sound peculiar to modern ears. It has an archaic beauty that is difficult to find in the world today.

    This song is a beautiful version of a classic folksong from the Kentucky highlands. Elma learned from ballad singer Acie Cargill who learned it from his grandmother in Kentucky Hattie Mae Tyler Cargill who was the last of the Tyler ballad singing family. They were known for accurately passing the songs through their family for many many generations, probably arriving in this country before the Revolutionary War. Elma's singing is very touching and may be one of the landmark performances in all of folk music.
