about

‘Rare Willie Drowned in Yarrow’ is a Scottish border ballad in which a girl dreams that her absent lover is pulling heather, but when she seeks him, finds him drowned. It seems to have links with a much longer ballad which has the man killed in a duel and thrown in a river. The second half of this track steals and twists a verse from ‘Hares on the Mountain’.
